What it is
Morus nigra fruit extract is obtained from the dark berries of the black mulberry tree. 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. In sunscreens it appears as a botanical additive supporting the overall skin-care positioning.
Safety & warnings
Black mulberry fruit extract is generally well tolerated, although botanical extracts can occasionally cause sensitivity in some individuals. No specific fragrance-allergen or comedogenicity concerns are commonly attributed to it.
