Introduction
Mulberry root bark has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for over 1,500 years for respiratory complaints and skin-clearing applications. Modern cosmetic-industry interest has focused on the tyrosinase-inhibitory activity of mulberroside A and related stilbene glycosides as a natural alternative to hydroquinone for skin-brightening applications.
Industrial production proceeds by ethanol extraction of dried Mulberry root bark or branches, followed by chromatographic purification and crystallization to defined mulberroside content. High-purity grades require additional purification passes.
Recognized as a permitted food ingredient in China and several Asian markets; widely used as a cosmetic active ingredient globally where mulberroside-containing extracts appear in premium skin-brightening products.
Mulberroside A acts as a competitive inhibitor of tyrosinase, the rate-limiting enzyme in melanin synthesis. The compound supports skin-brightening claims through this mechanism without the safety concerns of pharmaceutical hydroquinone.
Strategic positioning is dominated by premium cosmetic skincare applications globally, with secondary applications in beauty-from-within supplements and traditional medicine.
Where it is used
- Cosmetic skincare: premium skin-brightening and whitening formulations (the dominant commercial application)
- Beauty-from-within supplements positioned for skin tone and pigmentation
- Traditional Chinese Medicine: sang bai pi formulations and modern granule formats
- Anti-aging dietary supplements
- Pharmaceutical research applications including hyperpigmentation research
- Functional beverages: beauty drinks and wellness shots
