Xin Yi Tincture & Alcohol-Free Extract

Xin Yi (Magnolia liliiflora) is the lily magnolia or mulan, a deciduous shrub of the magnolia family, Magnoliaceae, native to southwestern China, where it has been cultivated for centuries and from which many garden hybrids descend. It forms a many-stemmed bush 3 to 4 meters tall with oval, dark green leaves and, before the leaves open in early spring, large goblet-shaped flowers that are purple-pink outside and white within. The flower buds, picked while still tightly closed and covered in silky grey-brown hairs, are the harvested part. We extract the dried flower.
