Morus Alba Root Extract

brightening anti-ageing antioxidant

overview

Mulberry root extract, derived from the roots of the Morus alba tree, is known for its potential skin-brightening, antioxidant, and anti-aging properties. It contains compounds like flavonoids, gallic acid, tannins, and anthocyanins, which help protect the skin from environmental stressors and reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots. Prenylium, a Morus alba tree root extract obtained through Plant Milking technology, has a higher concentration of prenylated flavonoids compared to traditional mulberry roots. These compounds have a better affinity with cellular membranes and enhanced interaction with biological targets, resulting in potent anti-aging activities.

benefits

Antioxidant Protection: Mulberry root extract and Prenylium help protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals and reactive oxygen species, which can lead to premature aging and skin damage. Skin Brightening: Both ingredients help reduce the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation by suppressing the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color. Anti-aging: Mulberry root extract and Prenylium promote skin elasticity and firmness, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
