Morus Alba (Mulberry) Fruit Extract is a plant-derived extract rich in polyphenols, flavonoids, and arbutin-like compounds that can inhibit tyrosinase activity and provide antioxidant effects, supporting reduction of hyperpigmentation and improvement of skin tone. It is commonly used in brightening and anti-aging formulations.
