MORUS BOMBYCIS ROOT EXTRACT.

This extract acts as a potent skin brightening and whitening agent by inhibiting tyrosinase, a key enzyme involved in melanin production. Its arbutin content, a hydroquinone derivative, further contributes to reduced melanin synthesis. Rich in antioxidants like flavonoids and anthocyanins, it neutralizes free radicals, thereby offering robust anti-aging benefits and helping to mitigate oxidative stress. It also boosts skin elasticity by inhibiting elastase activity to reduce collagen degradation and promotes ceramide synthesis for a stronger skin barrier. The presence of total flavonoids provides anti-inflammatory effects, assisting in alleviating skin sensitivity and redness. For blemish-prone skin, it helps regulate male hormone levels, suppresses *propionibacterium acnes* reproduction, and delivers astringent actions to minimize pore appearance and control excess sebum. Furthermore, it functions as a skin conditioning agent, drawing and retaining moisture to prevent dehydration and promote soft, smooth skin.
