        abstract = {Herbal cosmetics have phytochemicals from various plants that give healthy hair and skin providing essential nutrients and biologically active compounds. These formulations are gat high demand compared to conventional cosmetics due to less side effects and natural occurring. Key herbal ingredients like moringa oliefera and Glycyrrhiza glabra have high content of antioxidants, flavonoids, phenolic acids, and other bioactive compounds which are required for skin and hair health. However, conventional methods take long time for extraction and use large amount of solvent. Advanced green extraction methods such as Microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) and Ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) give improved efficiency by reducing solvent use, extraction time and energy consumption while enhancing yield and preserving bioactive compounds. This study evaluates the impact of MAE and UAE using environmentally friendly solvents on extracting bioactive compounds from Moringa and Licorice for skincare and haircare applications, focusing on phenolic content and phytochemical profile.},
