ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of selected essential oils (Laurus nobilis, Eucalyptus globulus and Salvia officinalis), both alone and in combination, in cosmetic preparations characterized by an increasing risk of microbial contamination, i.e. an O/W skin cream, a hydrogel and a non-alcoholic hydrolyte. Their potential synergistic effect in combination with the usual cosmetic preservatives at low concentrations (up to 200-fold less than usual) was also investigated.
