Detection of Mold and Yeast in Cosmetics

Mold and yeast are the microorganisms that we are most exposed to in our daily life. Different types are found in cosmetic products other than food. Cosmetic products, on the other hand, may cause health problems if they contain mold and yeast due to long-term direct contact with the skin.

Molds and yeasts can multiply as contaminants during production, storage and transportation of cosmetic products. The presence of molds and yeasts, which can survive under very different conditions, is not accepted in cosmetic products. The "Guideline on Microbiological Control of Cosmetic Products" covers the necessary conditions and analyzes for the cosmetic product to maintain a good microbiological quality throughout its shelf life.

Within the scope of the said guide and related regulations, Mold and Yeast Detection is among the microbiological analyzes performed in cosmetic products. Yeast and mold should not be present in cosmetic products for purposes such as consumer health, product quality, protection of shelf life. “Yeast and Mold Search” should be carried out regularly in cosmetic products.

“Searching for Yeast and Mold in Cosmetic Products” is one of the test parameters performed in the accredited and authorized Nanolab Cosmetic Product Analysis Laboratory.
