Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Recent research has reported that the maple leaf extract exhibits anti-aging effects by inhibiting elastase activity, thereby preventing the breakdown of elastin and interfering with the formation of wrinkles. Red maple leaf extract contains phenolic compounds known as glucitol-core-containing gallotannins (GCGs) which help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and may decrease skin inflammation, dark spots and pigmentation. The objective of this study is to examine the effects of topical Maplifa on the cosmetic appearance of facial lines, redness and skin tone.

* Individuals with Fitzpatrick skin type I-IV

Exclusion Criteria

* Individuals who have been on any medication that has caused a change in skin pigmentation based on the opinion of the investigator
* Individuals who have history of acute or chronic disease that would likely interfere with or increase the risk on study participation at the discretion of the investigator
* Individuals who have participated in any other clinical studies using the same test sites (face) and hand in the past 14 days
* Individuals who are pregnant, breast feeding or planning a pregnancy within one month. (There is no concern for risk to fetus but pregnancy can alter skin pigmentation).
* Female volunteers who have started a new hormonal birth control agent or had a change in their hormonal birth control agent within the past 60 days
* Individuals who have had any medical or cosmetic procedure, such as laser resurfacing, or plastic surgery to the test site (face) within the last 6 months. This includes botulinum toxin, dermal fillers, collagen or other similar cosmetic procedure
