According to a study by the University of Rhode Island, maple leaves contain an extract that prevents the release of elastase which is an enzyme that facilitates wrinkle formation.  Maple leaves protect the skin from inflammation and pigmentation leading the team to find out the impact of maple leaves on skin ageing. However, according to scientists, maple extract may end up as a supplement or a treatment, rather than a plant based botox.

Findings from an ongoing clinical trial in the US suggest that botox&nbsp;injections could be used to treat depression.&nbsp;
Derived from a bacterial neurotoxin&nbsp;called&nbsp;botulinum,&nbsp;botox&nbsp;is commonly injected to ease wrinkles, migraines, muscle spasms, excessive sweating and other conditions.
Now, researchers at the University of California, San Diego, say those who receive botox injections are depressed far less often than others.
They analysed a database which recorded adverse effects caused by medications to see what happened to nearly 40,000 people after they received Botox&nbsp;treatments for differing&nbsp;reasons.&nbsp;
The study, published in the journal Scientific Reports, says that people who got botox&nbsp;injection--in six different locations--reported fewer instances of depression compared to patients undergoing different treatments for the same illness.
In fact, depression was reported 40-88% less often by Botox-treated patients for six of the eight conditions and injection sites.&nbsp;
The team, however, cautioned that this data was not specifically collected to study the link between&nbsp;Botox&nbsp;use and depression.&nbsp;Scientists say more research is needed, to identify the mechanism by which botox acts as an antidepressant.

China is on its way to lift restrictions on beauty companies that support cruelty-free practices by not conducting animal tests on personal care products, reports WWD.

'Effective Jan 1, 2021, imported ordinary cosmetics such as shampoo, blusher, mascara and perfume will no longer have to be animal tested.' announced Human Society International.

Hindustan Unilever Limited has renamed its best-selling &lsquo;Fair &amp; Lovely&rsquo; products as &lsquo;Glow &amp; Lovely&rsquo;, days after it decided to change the nomenclature. The company was criticized&nbsp;for&nbsp;propagating racial stereotypes along with several other brands that promote fairness products, triggered by the Black Lives Matter movement. The men&rsquo;s range will be called &lsquo;Glow &amp; Handsome&rsquo;. However,&nbsp;Emami&nbsp;Limited has threatened legal action against HUL as it already changed the name of its men&rsquo;s fairness cream to &lsquo;Emami Glow &amp; Handsome&rsquo; and launched the brand digitally last week. According to a Bloomberg report, Fair &amp; Lovely garners $500 million in the domestic market alone.

After announcing a ban on words like 'whitening' and 'fair' from its cosmetics, L'Oreal&nbsp;has announced its course of action for future products. The French beauty giant will gradually replace words like 'white' and 'fair' with terms more politically correct terms like 'glow' and 'even'. 'We're simply adapting our vocabulary, to meet changing expectations and attitudes,' L'Oreal's&nbsp;Jean-Paul Agon&nbsp;said as per Reuters.&nbsp;
L'Oreal's&nbsp;decision to make these changes follows similar moves by its competitors Unilever that dropped the 'fair' from its Fair &amp; Lovely brand and Johnson &amp; Johnson's decision to stop selling skin whitening creams altogether.&nbsp;

Cosmetics giant Coty&nbsp;that recently acquired a majority stake in Kylie Cosmetics, has now paid $200mn for a 20 per cent share in sister Kim Kardashian&nbsp;West's beauty brand. Coty's&nbsp;deal with the reality star and beauty mogul pushed its&nbsp;shares to rise over 14 per cent after the announcement on Monday. Through the deal, Kardashian's&nbsp;four-year-old brand will enter new categories and pursue a global expansion beyond her existing product line. West, who has over 300 million followers across her various social channels, will continue to manage the creative and communication side of the brand.&nbsp;

The Indian arm of global consumer giant Unilever said on Thursday it would re-brand its skin-lightening cream 'Fair and Lovely', which has been criticized for promoting negative stereotypes related to darker skin tones. Hindustan Unilever said it would stop using the word 'Fair' in the brand, adding that the new name for the cream was awaiting regulatory approvals. In a statement, HUL&nbsp;said, they are&nbsp;committed to a skin care portfolio that's inclusive of all skin tones, celebrating the diversity of beauty. so they are removing the words &lsquo;fairness&rsquo;, &lsquo;whitening&rsquo; &amp; &lsquo;lightening&rsquo; from products, and changing the Fair &amp; Lovely brand name.

The US firm said that the production of these products has been stopped but they may appear on shelves till current stock lasts.&nbsp;

It seems like musician and fashion designer Kanye&nbsp;West is planning to expand his Yeezy&nbsp;empire even further. According to reports, West has filed a trademark for Yeezy beauty. The copyright covers&nbsp;makeup, fake lashes, face masks, nail polishes, body oils, shaving creams and much more, including Yeezy toothpaste! West himself has never mentioned an interest in a beauty line but his wife Kim Kardashian&nbsp;West runs a successful beauty and fragrance line in her name.

A new challenge on social media is asking beauty companies to reveal the diversity quotient of its staff. Called Pull Up Or Shut Up, the movement was launched to reveal how many of the employees in their firm are&nbsp;black people along with the overall racial and gender diversity that makes up their workplace
Huda&nbsp;Kattan's&nbsp;Huda&nbsp;Beauty and Kylie Jenner's Kylie Cosmetics both&nbsp;revealed that 13% of its HQ staff is black.&nbsp;L'Oreal USA&nbsp;which owns around 35 brands and has over 12,000 employees said 9% of its staff is black, while 38% identify as people of colour. Estee&nbsp;Lauder says 12% of its staff in the US is black while 45% identify as people of colour.&nbsp;

French multinational chain Sephora's US division has taken the 15% Pledge, indicating that 15% of its shelf space will be dedicated to products of black-owned companies. The news comes after the 'Black Lives Matter' movement garnered centre stage following the death of an unarmed black man George Floyd. The move aims to make the company's supply chain more diverse and offer a platform for black-owned companies to expand. While Sephora currently offers 9 black-owned products, it acknowledged&nbsp;the fact that it could do better. 15% Pledge, an initiative of footwear designer Aurora James, urges retailers to pledge a designated amount of space to black-owned businesses.

American cosmetics giant&nbsp;Est&eacute;e Lauder has decided to hire more black employees and buy more from companies owned by black people after employees urged the multinational to address race-related issues. The move comes in the wake of the protests currently going on across the United States. The company plans to increase diverse recruiting and is donating $10 million to the&nbsp;National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and other organisations with similar goals.&nbsp;Est&eacute;e Lauder took to Instagram to share that the company values inclusion, respect, love, justice, and equality for all.&nbsp;

This may come as little surprise&nbsp;to anyone! Lipstick sales have dropped as people remain indoors and cover their mouth with masks to prevent the spread of infection. Director of Insights at L'Oreal&nbsp;India told TOI that lipstick usage has slipped due to a reduction in out-of-home social occasions, adding, a shift towards more eye make-up is expected. The same report quoted a Nykaa&nbsp;spokesperson saying that skin and hair are two categories that blossomed during the lockdown and will be the ones to watch for the rest of the year.&nbsp;

Beauty bloggers&nbsp;and&nbsp;make-up artists on Instagram, Tik&nbsp;Tok and just about everywhere else are being slammed by netizens&nbsp;for created make-up looks inspired by the Black Lives Matters protest. Turning a serious social cause&nbsp;into a trendy&nbsp;makeup challenge, the beauty mavens are doing everything from writing slogans on their face and created illusions on being choked to the worst of all, painting their faces black.&nbsp;
Unsurprisingly, people have criticised these makeup enthusiasts for&nbsp;not just&nbsp;cashing in on a trending topic but also&nbsp;trivialising racism for views.&nbsp;

While face masks and sanitisers&nbsp;keep flying off of shelves, there are some products which are not doing as well. One such item-- lipsticks have become a victim of coronavirus&nbsp;as people stop buying the cosmetic product that no one can see anymore under their face covering. An expenditure report conducted Japan's Ministry of External Affairs in March found that spending on lipstick fell by 22.5 per cent from the same month last year. A representative from a&nbsp;Japanese cosmetic giant told scmp.com that while sales of all make-up products were down in the first quarter of 2020, lipsticks were the worst hit.&nbsp;

Asia-focused hedge fund Steadview Capital has invested an additional ₹67 crores in online beauty retailer Nykaa. The capital infusion comes at a time when risk capital investment activity has almost come to a halt because of the&nbsp;Covid-19 pandemic.&nbsp;This follows the Rs 100 crores&nbsp;Steadview Capital invested in the Mumbai-headquartered company in April. The investment&nbsp;brought the valuation of the&nbsp;company to about $1.2 billion, in the process of entering the unicorn club, or those startups that command a valuation of at least $1 billion.

DIY&nbsp;grooming is having a moment as people are forced to tend to their own skin and hair at home during lockdown. If you're bored of your look or just want to do something different with your hair, let these young stars&nbsp;be your guide. Models Georgia May Jagger&nbsp;and Ruby Rose have both dyed their hair in two different hair colours and trend has seemingly taken off with plenty others. Take a look!&nbsp;
