Title

Microbial Analysis of Expired and ‘In Used’ Cream, Liquid and Matte Lipsticks

Abstract

Easy access to blogs and social media has led to increased investing in cosmetics. Lipsticks act as mechanical vectors of microbes which spread by sharing, using testers in shops and malls, unhygienic applications of lipsticks on multiple costumers by salons etc. Emphasis on value for money by consumers leads to use of expired products which poses greater health risk. Mouth is the portal for entry of microbes directly into the gastrointestinal regions of the body which should be considered while using lipsticks. Samples of expired and in use lipsticks of different types were collected from volunteers in the study. Bacterial and fungal counts were determined using the spread plate method. Isolates were identified on the basis of colony characters, staining techniques and biochemical tests. Bacterial populations were isolated belonging to species of Gram positive bacteria viz. Bacillus spp (18.4%), Streptococcus spp (24.8%), Staphylococcus spp (41.4%) which included S. saprophyticus, S. aureus and S. epidermidis in all samples and Gram negative bacteria viz. E.coli (0.4%) and Pseudomonas spp (10%) were observed in expired and ‘in used’ liquid lipstick samples. Different Fungal populations were identified which belonged to Aspergillus spp (31.2%), Penicillium spp (19.8%), Sacchromyces spp (48.8%) and Trichoderma spp (0.2%). It was concluded that lipsticks often contain preservatives but some are still subject to microbial contamination. Total fungal count in expired lipsticks observed was lesser than the ‘in used’ lipsticks. Some of the bacterial isolates were found to be resistant to commonly known antibiotics.
