✅What to Do
Before using a product with honokiol, do a small patch test on the inside of your forearm and wait 24–48 hours. Avoid getting the product in your eyes or mouth. Stop use if you get redness, itching, a rash, or any breathing trouble. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a chronic health condition, talk with your doctor before using new topical products.
