Magnolia essential oil is extracted from the delicate petals of the Magnolia grandiflora flower, native to Southeast Asia and the southern United States. Known for its sweet, floral, and slightly citrusy aroma, Magnolia has been cherished for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine for its calming and balancing properties. It is often referred to as the “Oil of Compassion” due to its ability to soothe emotions and promote self-love.
