Performance & Formulation Insights for AccessMOIST Morus Alba Bark

Mechanism of Action: Potent Tyrosinase Inhibition

AccessMOIST Morus Alba Bark derives its powerful brightening effects from its natural composition, rich in actives such as mulberroside F. These constituents act as highly effective tyrosinase inhibitors—tyrosinase being the key enzyme responsible for melanin synthesis. By competitively binding to this enzyme, Morus Alba Bark Extract slows the melanin production pathway, helping prevent excess pigment that leads to dark spots and uneven tone. Studies indicate stronger inhibitory effects than arbutin, making it a superior choice for high-efficacy brightening systems. Additionally, robust antioxidant capacity helps neutralize free radicals, mitigating oxidative stress that can trigger inflammation and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Formulation Guidelines & Technical Advantages

AccessMOIST Morus Alba Bark is a water-soluble liquid extract for easy incorporation. Add to the water phase or during the cool-down stage below 40°C (104°F) to preserve activity. It is stable across a broad pH range (4.0–7.0), compatible with serums, lotions, and creams. Recommended usage is 1–5%. It pairs synergistically with other brighteners (e.g., Vitamin C derivatives, Niacinamide) and complements antioxidants and humectants like Hyaluronic Acid to support a comprehensive brightening and barrier-care strategy.
