Maple leaf extract is a natural botox that removes wrinkles from the face. This syrup also prevents inflammatory skin processes and whitens dark spots caused by sunbathing.
Study leader dr. Navindra Siram from Rohode Island University said that maple syrup is a natural botox that can be applied to the face without any ill effects unlike injected toxins.
Researchers have put natural maple extract into cosmetics and are now awaiting a patent. It is not clear how this product will be available for purchase.
The research was done out of curiosity. The scientists wanted to see if maple leaf could prevent the activity of elastase. After determining the good sides of the leaves of these trees, they created a product called Maplifa.
Scientists hope that this will encourage the cultivation of maple trees and bring benefits to growers, reports klix.ba.
