Oscar Wilde said that ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder,’ because beauty remains subjective, a matter of taste, its appreciation changes according to the era and cultures. Beauty would be directly linked to the uniformity of skin colour. Many studies show that the more complexion is uniform, the more the human face appears young and in good health and the more the person is beautiful and attractive. Symbol of perfect beauty, Phytessence White Peony acts on the uniformity of skin colour by correcting excessive redness and attenuating ageing spots. A herbaceous plant from Asia, the peony is traditionally used for its soothing properties and procures a sensation of absolute serenity. From the Greek Paeonia meaning “healing plant”, it has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for more than two thousand years to heal skin rashes, help scarring and calm nervous irritations (stress, anxiety…). Its root contains terpenoids, mainly paeoniflorin and polyphenols.
