Floral splendor with an exotic flair

The white Champaca (Michelia alba) is a tree species native to Asia. It belongs to the magnolia family and is also known as "White Magnolia".

The magnolia tree – a true blossom dream

Magnolia trees and shrubs can grow up to 20 m tall and have impressively large, solitary leaves. The white magnolia enchants with its radiant and wonderfully fragrant blossoms. It’s no wonder that its soothing scent is especially valued in the world of perfumes.

Traditional symbol of purity and beauty

This magnificent plant has since been regarded in Chinese culture as a symbol of purity and beauty. Beyond the aesthetic and symbolic significance of the magnolia, it is also attributed with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties in traditional Chinese medicine to treat various diseases.

Heavenly scented, soothing, and skin-caring

In cosmetics, magnolia is known for its essential oil, which is gently extracted from flowers, leaves, and stems through steam distillation. The scent is often described as a sensual bouquet of sugary, floral, and champagne-like notes. As a result, magnolia flower extract is especially used in perfumes, but also in scented candles or even sweet foods.

Valuable extracts

But that's not all! Magnolia can do much more than just smell seductive. Its antimicrobial and antioxidant effects make the extracts a valuable ingredient in the world of cosmetics. Therefore, the skin-soothing and caring magnolia flower extract, with its antioxidant effect and indulgent scent, can be found in many cosmetic products.
