Morus alba bark extract is extracted from the bark of the Morus alba, a white mulberry tree. The tree is most commonly known as a food source for silkworms during the production of natural silk. The berries are also edible and used in jams or preserves, or eaten dried.
The bark of Morus alba is reported to offer flavonoids, stilbenoids, and coumarins. Its bioactive compounds also include mulberroside, morusin, resveratrol, and morin. These all have astringent, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties and may help with the wound healing process. Morin and resveratrol also have some skin-whitening properties.
