Rich beautiful aroma that smells slightly sweet and compares to the full bloom flowers and with a spice green nutty note, floral musky-like slightly bitter aroma. Its perfect to add to a blend or use as a carrier oil.
Made from Magnolia grandiflora Seeds. These seeds are from two family-owned beautiful 40-year-old Southern Magnolia Heirloom trees in North Carolina and are cold-pressed to create the most beautiful oil.
Magnolia seed oil is a dark yellow amber orange to dark red oil much like sea buckthorn oil and will stain so be careful. Magnolia seed oil is a rich semi-viscous oil that will make your skin kiss you if you have eczema or psoriasis!
Excellent for making soaps, lotions, and skincare products. Stop bleeding and help relieve congestion and cramping in muscles, joints, and during the menstruation cycle. You can rarely find this one on the market.
We offer this one only during the fall-winter and early spring seasons. We cold-press seeds from fall up to our very last batch of dried seeds and are ready in early spring.
Then we start over from late May to early August by harvesting flowers and leaves both for distillation of flower essential oil and hydrosol and leaf essential oil and hydrosol. And yes we do pickle some of the flowers to eat. We gather seeds around Sukkot in the fall when the seeds show their little red selves out of their pink cone pods.
How many of you know the Magnolia is considered one of the most ancient Flowering Plants on the planet?It was discovered that the Magnolia Tree was actually one of the first iosperms to colonize the Earth as long as 5,000,000 million years ago. This flower was most definitely in the Garden of Eden
I once rescued several flowers off a huge branch knocked down by wind. Glad I was there to take them to at least give them a chance to share their ancient fragrance and allow the flowers to open up fully. Magnolia flowers and even down to the seeds can teach us so much. Even though they are large flowers, ancient, strong, and beautiful they are also vulnerable and delicate at the same time.
The benefits of seeds are used for skin issues, but a few studies show they can be used for weight management, lowering blood sugar, lowering blood pressure, relieving respiratory issues, and menstrual cramps. Excellent if you put a drop of Eucalyptus and a teaspoon of Magnolia Seed Oil into a vaporizer to clear congested lungs. it’s wonderful to add deep yellow gold to amber-red color to your skincare product, soaps, and lotions instead of just for the aroma of Magnolia flowers so that is a bonus.
Magnolia grandiflora naturally contains phenolic constituents shown to possess significant antimicrobial activity. Magnolol, honokiol, and 3,5′-diallyl-2′-hydroxy-4-methoxybiphenyl exhibited significant activity against Gram-positive and acid-fast bacteria and fungi.
Facts and Fiction about the Magnolia Tree and Seeds:
The Magnolia Tree is native to the Deep Southern part of the USA. It is the state tree of Mississippi and the state flower of Louisiana. North Carolina has the oldest Heirloom Magnolia trees in the South and is protected in much of the state. Its beautiful flowers are an unbelievable 10 – 12″ in diameter!!
The fragrant flowers are white with yellow stamens & have a waxy texture. The flowers turn into beautiful 3 – 5” long pink fruit in the fall. Plants are able to tolerate both coastal conditions & moist periods of humidity. We harvest these seeds for Selling, planting, and creating our Magnolia Seed oil.
The Heirloom North Carolina Magnolia tree makes some of the most beautiful hardwood which is used commercially to make furniture. The Magnolia tree in the south is an evergreen with dark green shiny leaves. The leaves are stiff & leathery, & measure up to 10″ long. They are used by florists to make lovely floral arrangements.
There is a myth that Magnolia seeds are toxic and of course, this myth is simply not true. There is no known toxicity to magnolia (unless you have an allergy to magnolia flowers or trees). Here is an Expert Insight. According to the University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture, “No part of the southern magnolia tree is considered to have no toxic effects on humans or animals if handled or ingested.
They concluded that “Magnolia has many positive qualities and many medicinal benefits. For several centuries in America Native Americans have used the Southern White Magnolia seeds, flowers, and leaves in many culinary dishes, skincare, and medicines. So ingestion of the leaves, flowers, seeds, or berries of the magnolia tree will not result in plant poisoning.”

As a matter of fact, I grew up eating the flower petals pickled which we slice the flowers up and serve on a salad or on Yellow South Carolina rice, and yes we would gobble up the berries. In the fall around Sukkot, we would gather the seeds to make soaps, creams, and lotions for skin care and use some for stomach cramps, and digestive issues by just rubbing a little on the tummy.
My Bubbie (grandmother) was a wonderful soap maker and she would stash a bottle of magnolia seed oil aside. She would use Magnolia seed as an oil base for her soaps because it was so very nourishing to the skin. We would use it topically for wound care, specifically to stop a bleed, and great to slow heavy mense bleeding and cramping when rubbed on the ovary area of the stomach during the monthly cycle.
When I lived in the PNW of the United States I would hunt down sellers of these precious red seeds and pay a small ransom for pounds of seeds. On top of that, I would beg every Friend and Family I knew from the South who had a Southern Magnolia tree to send me the seeds so I could make the oil for my own personal use. It is truly a treasure to have. Even now it is a very expensive process and so much time and hours goes in the making.
