About
A botanical powder from the dried buds of Magnolia denudata (lily magnolia), traditionally used in Chinese medicine. It contains antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds that may benefit skin.
Magnolia Denudata Bud Powder is derived from the dried, ground flower buds of Magnolia denudata (Magnoliaceae), a deciduous tree native to China. The buds contain bioactive compounds including magnolol, honokiol, and various flavonoids with documented anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial activity. In traditional Chinese medicine, magnolia bark and buds have been used to treat anxiety, allergic reactions, and inflammation. As a cosmetic ingredient, it functions as an abrasive and skin conditioning agent. Honokiol and magnolol are of particular interest for topical anti-aging and anti-inflammatory applications.
