Recent published research ^[1,2] has confirmed the downregulation of NF-kappaB signaling pathway by Magnolol. This property of Magnolol can, in the case of topical application, help fight against age-related chronic micro-inflammation. This activity, combined with the well known antioxidant properties of Magnolol, indicate a strong protective potential for Magnolol, especially in anti-aging skin care applications. CARE ACTIV Ingredients offers CARE ACTIV MAGNOLOL, which is a natural and pure Magnolol, to formulate skin care applications with a well defined Magnolol composition.
