|
Cosmetics are outward usually applied preparations to the parts of Body components of the human for cleansing, protecting, and beautifying. These products would certainly be non-sterile but must be absolutely free of any harmful bacterial pathogens. Based on the area of application, cosmetics may be classified as cosmetics for hair-scalp, oral care, and skin, as well as fragrances. The main goal of this analysis is to estimate the degree of cosmetic contamination. In the study, out of 74 samples of various products of cosmetic, it was found that 77% were contaminated. The contaminants consist of bacteria such as Bacillous sp, Staphylococcus, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and epidermidis. Wet cosmetics are the maximum contamination since they are a good tool for their development. At last the bacterial growth was increased with times in all forms of cosmetics (lipstick, liner of the brow, Foundation...etc), for those opened for more than two months. A variety of antibiotic antimicrobial tests have been conducted showing the diameter of the inhibition zone of different isolates.
