Manufactured in China under ISO9001, GMP, FDA, Kosher, and Halal certifications, it is available with an MOQ of just 1 kg. OEM/ODM services, flexible trade terms, and sufficient stock with fast delivery make it a reliable raw material choice for global buyers.

What Is Magnolia Bark Extract?

The product refers to the concentrated lignan-rich powder obtained from the bark of Magnolia officinalis, a plant with over 1,000 years of use in traditional Asian herbal practice. The bark is processed through modern extraction and purification technology to yield a stable, industrially suitable standardized product.

The two primary active compounds are magnolol and honokiol — structural isomers belonging to the neolignan class. Together, they form the basis of the 98% total phenols specification that distinguishes this extract from lower-grade botanical ingredients.

Unlike common polysaccharide- or flavonoid-based extracts, the distinctive value of this ingredient comes specifically from its lignan profile, which is relatively rare in the botanical extract market.

Key Product Characteristics

The 98% total phenols grade is a high-standardized specification, providing a significantly higher concentration of active compounds compared to standard-grade extracts typically ranging from 2–10%.

This extract appears as a brownish-yellow to light yellow fine powder with a characteristic slight aromatic note. It is slightly soluble in water but readily soluble in ethanol and other organic solvents. This lipophilic nature is important for formulators — softgel capsules, oil-based emulsions, or pre-dissolved ethanol solutions are generally preferred delivery formats.

Magnolol and honokiol demonstrate good stability in mildly acidic conditions (pH 3.0–4.0), making this extract compatible with gummy and tablet formats when appropriate light and oxygen controls are applied during processing.

Technical Specifications

Quality Control & Certifications

Each batch of this product is analysed via High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) for accurate measurement of magnolol and honokiol levels. This guarantees that each cargo satisfies the 98% total phenols threshold.

Herbcosher has ISO9001, GMP, FDA, Kosher and Halal certification, so your supply chain remains compliant across major global markets including the US, EU and the Middle East. Third party testing reports can be provided on request to support your own documentation and regulatory needs.

Application Areas

This standardized Magnolia Bark Extract fits well into several product categories where consistent lignan content and botanical heritage are valued:

Dietary Supplements — Capsules, softgels, and tablets targeting stress support, sleep quality, and overall wellness formulations benefit from the precisely standardized 98% specification. A typical high-purity application uses 30–50 mg per daily dose.

Botanical Combination Products — The unique lignan profile pairs well with other traditional herbal extracts such as ashwagandha or valerian, allowing formulators to build differentiated, multi-herb products with strong ingredient stories.

Functional Foods & Gummies — Stable in acidic pH ranges common in gummy formats. Proper encapsulation or emulsification helps manage its lipophilic solubility.

Oral Care & Dermatology — The antimicrobial properties of magnolol and honokiol have drawn interest in advanced personal care applications, including oral health products and topical formulations.

FAQ

Q: What are the primary active components?

A: The main active ingredients are magnolol and honokiol. Both are neolignans, and they are derived from magnolia bark (Magnolia officinalis). Total phenols spec is 98% combined content of their spec.

Q: Why 98% specification instead of Standard grade extracts?

A: The 98% grade has a significantly higher concentration of important botanical constituents, thus the dosing of ingredients is more accurate and constant. It is suitable for brands that need tight regulations on active ingredients and clean product labelling.

Q: How should high-purity product be handled in water-based formulations?

A: It is better pre-dissolved in ethanol or incorporated into oil-based systems as the extract is slightly soluble in water. Water dispersible applications are also offered as an OEM option of microencapsulation.

Q: What documentation is available to support regulatory submissions?

A: Herbcosher offers batch testing reports based on HPLC, and we can also supply third-party testing reports for you. The product is made under ISO9001, GMP, FDA, Kosher and Halal certifications.

Q: What is the minimum order quantity? What kind of packaging do you have?

A: The MOQ is 1 kg, which is suitable for R&D and trial orders. Available in 10 kg and 20 kg standard commercial container.

Q: Can you customise to specific formulation requirements?

A: Yes. We provide full OEM and ODM services with the ability to customise particle size, encapsulation forms and private-label packaging. Customised orders usually have a lead time of 15 working days.
