Microbiological contamination of raw materials and cosmetic products
Abstract: Cosmetics and hygienical products are used world-wide to improve human hygiene, skin condition and body appearance. Their quality is influenced by their chemical composition, active components and the presence of bacteria, protozoa and fungi. To avoid microbiological contamination, strict norms and procedures have been elaborated including Good Manual Practise (GMP) and Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP). In spite of them, contamination takes place both, during production and the use of cosmetic products. Bacteria and fungi in cosmetics come from raw materials like water, milk, essential oils and plant tissues or originate from biofilms formed in production lines as re-contamination. The most frequently found microbes are enterobacteria, staphylococci, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and sporeforms of Clostridium spp. and Bacillus spp. These contaminants in high number, noted in mascara, eye-shadows, shampoos or body lotions, could be the reason of corneal ulcer, toxic syndromes and skin infections. Moreover, proliferation of microbes leads to spoilage problems and to the shortening of the 'best before' period. The best way to avoid most of the problems connected with microbiological contamination is proper selection of good-quality raw materials, efficient disinfection and biofilm elimination as well as and applying the GMP procedures and HACCP rules in the factories. Education of consumers and proper storage and use of cosmetic and hygienical products are also very important.
