Mulberry Extract
A Natural Brightener That Revives Dull Skin and Reduces Pigmentation
Mulberry Extract, derived from the leaves or fruit of the mulberry tree (Morus alba), is a botanical ingredient known for its skin-brightening, antioxidant, and anti-aging properties. It helps reduce the appearance of dark spots and uneven tone while delivering gentle care suitable for all skin types, especially those targeting dullness or hyperpigmentation.
What is Mulberry Extract?
Mulberry Extract is obtained from the fruit, bark, or leaves of the mulberry tree, traditionally used in herbal medicine. In skincare, it is valued for its natural ability to inhibit tyrosinase—an enzyme responsible for melanin production—making it effective in lightening pigmentation and boosting overall radiance.
