Magnolia Officinalis Bark Extract

Product Description

Our Magnolia Officinalis Bark Extract is high-purity botanical material from direct factory supply, extracted from authenticated Magnolia officinalis L. bark with batch COA traceability for sensitive-skin and blemish-care formulators.

Standardized honokiol and magnolol neolignans modulate NF-κB-linked inflammatory pathways, scavenge ROS, and inhibit acne-associated bacteria without synthetic preservative load in aqueous systems.

CosIng-listed magnolia bark extract meets demand for TCM-inspired calm-actives in anti-acne cleansers and redness-prone care, offering dual-lignan depth beyond generic magnolia fragrance compounds.

Key Benefits & Applications

Magnolia Officinalis Bark Extract delivers honokiol-magnolol neolignans for formulators building anti-acne, soothing, and antioxidant skincare systems.

• Honokiol and magnolol modulate NF-κB-linked inflammatory mediators in sensitive-skin essences and post-treatment serums.
• Neolignan antioxidants scavenge ROS and limit oxidative stress in daily protective day care formulas.
• Magnolol targets acne-associated bacteria in blemish-prone gel cleansers and oil-control toners.
• Dual-lignan profile helps modulate sebum output in mattifying serums at 0.5–2% extract load.
• Calms reactive skin and reduces visible redness in soothing creams for couperose-prone complexions.

Formulation Guidelines

Use at 0.5–2% w/w in water-based soothing and blemish-care systems; maintain pH 4.5–6.5 and add below 40°C to preserve honokiol markers.

• Recommended use level: 0.5–2% in serums, cleansers, and calming creams.
• Optimal formula pH: 4.5–6.5 to stabilize magnolol and honokiol actives.
• Add during cool-down below 40°C after emulsification to limit heat degradation.
• Compatible with niacinamide and panthenol in aqueous anti-redness bases.
• Pre-dissolve in glycols or ethanol co-solvent for improved aqueous dispersion.
• Synergy: Centella Asiatica Extract strengthens calm recovery when layered with magnolol-rich bark in sensitive-skin essences.
