Morus Nigra Fruit Extract

Morus nigra fruit extract is a botanical from black mulberry fruit used as a skin-conditioning and antioxidant-type ingredient in cosmetics.

What it is

The fruit is rich in anthocyanins and other polyphenols, which is why the extract is used in cosmetics as a skin-conditioning agent with antioxidant-type properties.
