Objectives : This study was investigated to analyze the anti-oxidant activity of water and ethanol extracts from the Magnoliae Flos. Methods : The effects on electron donating ability (EDA), SOD-like activity and xanthine oxidase inhibition have been investigated the anti-oxidant activity for utilization as a natural material of cosmetics. Results : This study was investigated to analyze the anti-oxidant activity of water and ethanol extracts from the Magnoliae Flos. In the electron donating ability test, water and ethanol extract from Magnoliae Flos showed an effect of 75.6% and 83.5% at 1,000 ppm concentration, respectively. In the superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activity, 1,000 ppm of water extract showed an effect of 45.2% and ethanol extract showed an effect of 64.2%. Xanthine oxidase showed a meaningful inhibitory effect of 68.8% in water extract and 23.2% at 1,000 ppm in ethanol extract. Conclusion : From these results, Magnoliae Flos showed the development possibility as a natural material of anti-oxidant cosmetics.
