Microbial Analysis of Local Home-based Cosmetic Products

In recent years, there has been increasing interest in home-made cosmetics products in the beauty industries in Malaysia. Their escalating sales have encouraged many local producers to introduce homemade cosmetics to consumers. However, some homemade cosmetic products available in the market come wi...

Their escalating sales have encouraged many local producers to introduce homemade cosmetics to consumers. However, some homemade cosmetic products available in the market come without proper labelling, and list of ingredients lead to the risk of exposure to cosmetics contaminants.

The objectives of this study were to assess the level of microbiological contamination of local home-based cosmetics and to evaluate the presence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in facial serum samples. Four different commercially available local home-based cosmetic products namely tomato serum, turmeric serum, and two whitening serums were analyzed for their microbial activity and various contamination of different bacteria specifically P. aeruginosa.
