Albion develops cosmetic plant extract derived from peony

 The new peony cultivar “Yumesaika” bred at the Institute of Pharmaceutical Innovation, Health and Nutrition is known to have a high content of the active ingredient (paeoniflorin). All will be removed. Therefore, although it is known that peony flowers can be used as a raw material for cosmetics, this cultivar has not been used as a raw material for cosmetics.

Therefore, Albion compared the new peony cultivar "Yumesaika" with other peony cultivars in order to evaluate its usefulness as a cosmetic ingredient.

Three cultivars of peony, including the new peony cultivar 'Musaika', were extracted in the same way, and then evaluated for their antioxidant activity and hyaluronan synthase gene expression. As a result, it became clear that 'Yumeisaika' showed the highest efficacy in all cases, and it was decided to use 'Yumeisaika' as a raw material for cosmetics.


The company's research department prepared cosmetic raw materials from the flowers of "Yumesaika" cultivated at "Albion Shirakami Research Institute", and then evaluated the ingredients using the prepared raw materials.


Then, it was found that polyphenols (quercetin glycosides, pentagalloyl glucose, etc.) were contained. In addition, when an efficacy test on the skin was conducted, it was confirmed that in addition to the antioxidant effect, it also has an anti-aging effect and a cell activating effect.


The company will proceed with the development of new formulations based on the knowledge obtained from these studies.
