Non-fragrant plant extract (Latin name is Morus alba) whose various parts such as the leaf and root, have shown potential to brighten and improve the look of uneven skin tone. Concentration protocols have not been firmly established, so it’s best to look for mulberry extract in combination with other proven skin-brightening ingredients. Mulberry also works as an antioxidant and appears to be non-irritating.
