Morus Bombycis is an extract found in mulberries that is often used in cosmetics due to the presence of arbutin, a hydroquinone derivative isolated from the leaves of the bearberry shrub, cranberry, blueberry, some mushrooms, and most types of pears.
Thanks to Morus Bombycis' arbutin properties, it can potentially prevent melanin production, therefore naturally lightening skin and creating a more youthful appearance.
Morus Bombycis is also high in antioxidants, and although this property has made it a popular inclusion in the treatment of liver disease and other internal ailments, it is also an effective free radical scavenger.
