“…RX04, RX05, and RX08 proved to be the most resistant bacilli (Table 3), however, there was no correlation between resistance to preservatives and antibiotics (correlation = −15.0%, p = 0.776). This result repeated what has been observed in previous studies (Shaqra et al, 2014;Osungunna et al, 2010;Flores et al, 1997). Range of concentration: imidazolidinyl urea (I): 6.0-0.38%; methylparaben (M), propylparaben (P) and triclosan (T): 3.0-0.19%.…”

“…Secondary contamination of CPCPs generally occurs due to improper manipulations by the handlers and improper storage of the products, which can result in premature deterioration of the CPCPs (Shaqra et al, 2012). Because most of the ingredients used in the formulation of CPCPs are degradable, preservatives are usually included in CPCPs to extend the stability of the end product to up to 36 months (Eck, 2006).…”

“…Although CPCPs are not required to be sterile preparations, when opened, all cosmetic products are subjected to secondary contamination from the handler microbiota or from the storage environment (Zapka et al, 2011). Biological contaminants in cosmetics may include pathogenic organisms, opportunistic pathogens and saprophytes, particularly Non-fermenting Gram-Negative Bacilli -NFGNB (Shaqra et al, 2014). Microbial contamination from cosmetics is a global concern with possible negative economic consequences as well as risks to public health, when considering the potentials for product loss integrity, consumer infection, and the onset of microbial multidrugresistance phenomenon, due to the resilience of preservatives present in the formulations (Lin et al, 2010;Richardson, 2007).…”

This work aimed to isolate Non-fermenting Gram-Negative Bacilli (NFGNB) from packages of hair care products, discarded as common solid waste by beauty salons and to assess their susceptibility to antibiotics and preservatives. Samples from hair care products were collected during eight weeks from seven salons in the metropolitan area of the city of João Pessoa, Brazil. Twelve NFGNB were recovered and subjected to biochemical identification and susceptibility testing. Species of the genus Burkholderia were more frequent, followed by Pseudomonas and Aeromonas. The highest antibiotic resistance rates were observed among quinolones, meropenem, and sulfonamide. Six isolates showed multidrug-resistance profile and survived different concentrations of parabens, imidazolidinyl urea, and triclosan. However, no correlation between resistance to antibiotics and the preservatives was found. Multidrug-resistant opportunistic pathogenic species found in the material remaining inside the used packages may represent a risk to human health and to the environment when discarded improperly with normal household waste.

“…Preservatives in cosmetics are used in low concentrations to keep the product microbiologically pure during manufacture, packaging, storage and especially during use by consumers (Herman et al, 2019). Some organisms may develop resistance and cross-resistance to antibiotics, however, bacteria have been more investigated, to the detriment of filamentous fungi (Martins et al, 2018, Shaqra et al, 2014, Shaqra and Al-Grom, 2012. This may reflect that bacteria and some yeasts are recognized as parameters for the microbiological control of cosmetics in most health legislation in different countries, including Brazil (ANVISA, 1999).…”

Makeup is used by a large portion of humanity and often misused or stored incorrectly, leading to contamination by microbes. The water content in cosmetics influences susceptibility to microbial contamination, which can represent health risks, as well as deterioration. The aim of this work was to isolate and identify filamentous fungi in samples of face powder, foundation, blush, and lipstick of eight popular brands in Brazil. A study of their composition identified a total of 106 ingredients. Of the products, 75% of the samples showed contamination by filamentous fungi. Penicillium was the most prevalent, followed by Rhizopus and Scopulariopsis. The presence of these pathogens suggests misuse in the production and manipulation of these cosmetics as well as high risk to users' health.

“…Preservatives are chiefly effective in preventing bacterial proliferation, inhibiting yeast and controlling mold growth 1,2 . But, in many cases emergence of microorganisms resistance to existing chemical preservatives, for instance, sorbic acid, benzoic acid, triclosan, paraben, methyl-paraben, propyl-paraben, glutaraldehyde, formaldehyde, imidazolidinyl urea, chlorhexidine, dimethyl dimethylol hydantoin, and quaternary ammoniums compounds has been well reported 3,4 .…”

A growing concern of microbial resistance and potential risks associated with existing synthetic preservatives have put industries and researchers under immense pressure to develop newer and safer alternatives based on moieties obtained from natural sources. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the preservative effect of the selected derivatives of naturally occurring phenylpropanoids. Aluminum Hydroxide Gel-USP was employed as a pharmaceutical formulation which has been challenged with Staphylococcus aureus MTCC 737, Escherichia coli MTCC 443, Pseudomonas aeruginosa MTCC 1688, Aspergillus niger MTCC 282 and Candida albicans MTCC 227 as per USP 2004. The selected ester and anilide derivatives demonstrated good antimicrobial potential against all the challenged microorganisms. The preservative efficacy results were comparable to that of standard preservatives, methyl, and propyl-parabens. The benzoin caffeate (CE48) derivative was found to be superior preservative amongst the other derivatives and as well as from both the standards mainly against S. aureus, A. niger and C. albicans. Thus, natural moiety based antimicrobial derivatives has the potential to be chosen as a preservative in pharmaceutical formulations over the existing synthetic preservatives.
