Morus Nigra Extract

Product Description

Our Morus Nigra Extract is high-purity, batch-tested material from direct factory supply, extracted from authenticated Morus nigra L. leaves with full COA traceability for cosmetic manufacturers seeking standardized botanical brightening actives.

Standardized rutin, isoquercitrin, and chlorogenic acid polyphenols modulate tyrosinase activity and scavenge ROS, supporting even-tone outcomes in aqueous serums without harsh depigmenting agents.

Formulators value this CosIng-listed extract for tone-correcting essences and spot-care gels, where polyphenol-rich mulberry outperforms generic fruit extracts in pathway-specific brightening claims.

Key Benefits & Applications

Morus Nigra Extract delivers polyphenol-driven tone correction for formulators building aqueous brightening and antioxidant skincare lines.

• Tyrosinase pathway modulation via rutin and chlorogenic acid for tone-correcting water-based serums.
• Free radical scavenging limits oxidative triggers linked to uneven melanin distribution in daily care.
• Supports even skin tone appearance in essence and lotion systems targeting post-inflammatory marks.
• Dark spot correction adjunct in gel-cream spot treatments at 1–3% extract load.
• Enhances skin radiance and glow in hydrating mists without sensitizing synthetic brighteners.

Formulation Guidelines

Integrate at 1–5% w/w in water-based brightening systems; maintain pH 4.5–6.5 for polyphenol stability during cool-down below 40°C.

• Recommended use level: 1–5% in essences, toners, and gel serums.
• Optimal formula pH: 4.5–6.5 to preserve rutin and chlorogenic acid markers.
• Add below 40°C after emulsification to minimize heat-sensitive polyphenol loss.
• Compatible with niacinamide and hyaluronic acid in aqueous brightening bases.
• Avoid pairing with strong oxidizers or high-level peroxide actives.
• Synergy: Pair Niacinamide at 2–5% with this extract to block melanin transfer in brightening essences.
