Cosmetics are in direct contact with human skin, eyes and hair, and the use of contaminated cosmetics will pose a threat to human health. Microbiological testing plays an important role in the cosmetics industry, helping to ensure product safety. Creative BioMart Microbe provides customers with a variety of microbiology testing services for cosmetic products.
Cosmetics are spread on the surface of the human body by smearing, spraying or other similar methods. Cosmetic raw materials contain water and a variety of nutrients (including carbon sources, nitrogen sources, minerals, etc.), which is a high-quality environment for the growth and reproduction of microorganisms. Cosmetics may be contaminated by microorganisms during production, storage, transportation and use. Microbial contamination may cause changes in the physical properties of cosmetics and the effective ingredients of products, as well as the risk of allergic infections. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct microbiological testing on cosmetics to ensure the safety and quality of the products.
Aerobic plate count (APC), fungi, yeast, and mold plate count are routine cosmetic microbiological test items. APC refers to the total number of colonies contained in 1g or 1ml of the sample after the sample has been processed and cultured under certain conditions. This test can be used to determine the degree of contamination of a sample with bacteria. Fungi, yeast, and mold plate count refers to the total number of yeast and mold plate counts in 1g or 1ml sample after the sample is cultured under certain conditions. This test can be used to determine the degree of contamination of a sample with yeast and mold.
