“…DOI: 10.1111/bjd.17467 DEAR EDITOR, The consumption of cosmetics was recently evaluated in France: the mean number of cosmetic products used daily by French consumers is 16 for women (18 if they are pregnant), eight for men, seven for girls (aged 4-14 years), five for boys (aged 4-14 years) and six for babies of both sexes (aged 0-3 years). 1 The most common product was facial moisturizers, with a higher product exposure than expected. Nonetheless, little is known about the prevalence of cosmetic disorders in the general population.…”

Cosmetic products are those formulations which are applied on different parts of body including teeth, nails, face and hair. These are used to clean body and improve appearance. On the basis of area on which cosmetics are applied these can be categorized in different categories like cosmetics for oral care, for skin, for hair and perfumes etc. Microorganisms are known for so many years due to their ability to grow and multiply in cosmetic care products. Cosmetic products are not considered to be sterile but there must be a minimum level of microbial contamination. This study was conducted to assess the cosmetic care products for their potential microbial contaminants (both fungal and bacterial). Cosmetic products were collected in two categories; cosmetic creams and moisturizing lotions. Pour plate technique was used to determine total viable count. Sample dilution was made in Phosphate buffer saline containing 0.5% of an emulsifying agent that was polysorbate 80. Different general purpose, selective and differential media were used for culturing. Identification was based upon morphology of colonies, Gram reaction and standard biochemical tests. Antibiotic sensitivity was checked by using different antibiotic and antifungal discs on MullerHinton Agar and Sabouraud Dextrose Agar. In this study the contaminants isolated from creams and lotions were; Pseudomonas aeruginosa, E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Aspergillus niger. Among these isolates P. aeruginosa, S. aureus and E. coli were sensitive to Ciprofloxacin, Amikacin and Tobramycin while A. niger was sensitive to Streptomycin, Ketoconazole and Clotrimazole.

“…Brazil and France are among the largest global beauty markets. For cultural, geographic and socioeconomic reasons, these countries are strong consumers and producers of cosmetics . There are studies comparing the efficacy of products between these two populations , but there is a lack of information about the comparison of sensory perception between French and Brazilians.…”

OBJECTIVE: Brazil and France are two major beauty markets worldwide. Despite this, there is not much cross-information on sensory analysis of cosmetic products between both population of these countries. The objective of this study was to compare the sensory perception of cosmetic formulations between Brazilian and French assessors and establish cross-culturally preferences. METHODS: For this, a total panel of 100 consumers of cosmetics evaluated four different products. The same protocol for the sensory analysis was followed in both countries. RESULTS: The panellists were able to perceive differences in the products and the method proved to be repeatable in both countries. The presence of UV filters in the formulation was noticed and displeased both populations. Brazilians, although dissatisfied with the sensory aspect of the sunscreen, are willing to use it for its UV protection. CONCLUSION: This work delivers important information on the sensory perception of cosmetics by people from different countries and brings important knowledge to develop products with textural properties that will be appreciated worldwide. R esum e OBJECTIFS: Le Br esil et la France sont deux pays majeurs pour le march e de la beaut e. Malgr e cela, il y a peu d' etude interculturelle sur la perception sensorielle des produits cosm etiques entre ces deux populations. L'objectif de cette etude etait donc de comparer l'analyse de formules cosm etiques par deux jurys, l'un br esilien et l'autre franc ßais, et d' etablir leur pr ef erence. METHODES: Pour cela, nous avons demand e a 100 consommateurs au total d' evaluer 4 produits cosm etiques diff erents. Le même protocole d'analyse sensorielle a et e scrupuleusement suivi dans les deux pays. RESULTATS: Les evaluateurs ont et e capables de percevoir des diff erences significatives entre les produits, et de fac ßon r ep etable dans chaque pays. Chaque jury a not e la pr esence de filtres UV dans les formules et ces derni eres ont et e peu appr eci ees. Cependant, le jury br esilien etait favorable a leur utilisation pour se prot eger des UV, et ce malgr e leurs propri et es sensorielles insatisfaisantes.CONCLUSION: Ce travail fournit des informations indispensables sur la perception sensorielle des produits cosm etiques par des populations diff erentes, ainsi que de nouvelles connaissances pour d evelopper des formules avec des textures qui pourrontêtre appr eci ees a travers le monde.
