their chemical complexity is the reason for significant biological properties making them an attractive option for a rapidly cosmetic evolving field. Such upgraded MAP ex­tracts developed by various sustainable approaches have a significant role in treatment of a broad spectra of medical disorders, such as dermatological. Extraction techniques, the drug nature (quality of plant, its origin, climate conditions, harvest time, plant’s organ, drying method, particle size, etc.), solvent type, costs and therapeutic values, etc., have a big effect on the extract’s potential. The results from latest studies underscore the exceptional capability of MAPs. Numerous natural metabolites are strong antioxidants and offer anti-inflammatory performances helpful in the treatment of oxidative stress­induced issues like photoaging, anti-elastase activity, the photoprotective effect of phe­nolics (e.g., oxyresveratrol and kuwanon O), improve hair growth and prevent hair loss, anti-dandruff, and anti-lice performances, and many more. Moreover, NPs have the po­tential to prolong action time by managing the delivery of active ingredients, causing site-specificity, enhancing biocompatibility, or the drug-loading capacity. Such potential has huge positive impact on cosmetic formulations due to nano size, big surface-to­volume ratio, etc. Further understanding of the concept of MAP extract mechanism and byproduct utilization, will help revolutionize cosmetic practices and contribute to a more sustainable future.
