Cosmetic products are used fondly and willingly to create a pleasant appearance and a nice posture, but on the other hand they have many negative effects on human health and carry microbiological risks according to their types. For example, in many types of creams and lotions, natural sourced ingredients containing vitamins and animal proteins are used for their health and safety. However, these substances are also a high source of nutrients for microorganisms. Therefore, the risk of bacterial contamination is very high. Shaving creams and shampoos are extremely sensitive to bacteria because of the excessive amount of water they contain. Although no visible deterioration is observed in shampoos, the growth of various bacteria is possible.

Shampoos are generally contaminated by microorganisms of the Pseudomonas species. Shaving creams are mostly contaminated by Staphylococcus microorganisms.

The deterioration of another cosmetic product, powders, lip paints, eye shadows and mascara, is mainly due to mold growth due to the moisture in them.

The bacterium Pseudomonas is generally present in water or in aqueous cosmetic products.

Pseudomonas is one of the bacteria posing a risk to human health in cosmetic products according to the Cosmetic Law and Cosmetic Regulation issued by the Ministry of Health and the Guidelines on Microbiological Control of Cosmetic Products. Pseudomonas, a pathogen in cosmetic products, should not be present in any way.
