Magnolia Bark is a plant genus of the family MAGNOLIACEAE. Bark contains honokiol and magnolol. Moreover, magnolia bark really shows its versatility as a topical agent. Researches have found its significant potential in such topical applications as dental care products and analgesic muscle rubs.The antimicrobial effects of the compounds in Magnolia is even stronger than berberine against Streptococcus mutans, the bacteria that causes dental caries.
