Resumo: Microbial contamination has been one of the most important problems of the cosmetic industry, since it may contain microorganisms potentially pathogenic to human health. The choice of substances with antimicrobial activity that will be incorporated into cosmetics to prevent contamination must be made in a judicious manner, in adequate concentrations that guarantee efficacy and safety. Chemical preservatives available on the market have, without exception, some risk of hypersensitivity and therefore efforts have been directed towards the development of natural compounds with antimicrobial activity for the purpose of reducing or replacing traditional chemical preservatives. The essential oils have become gels, creams, lotions andtoday, studies demonstrated their possible use as natural preservative agents. This work aims to verify if the oil of alecrim (Rosmarinus officinalis) is effective as preservative for cosmetic bases compared to chemical preservatives methyl and propyl parabens. The method used was the agar diffusion test where different concentrations of the preservatives were used against Escherichia coli bacteria and the fungus Candida albicans. The results indicated that alecrim essential oil has an intermediate potential of bacteriostatic activity, since it produced inhibition halos, but smaller than those produced by parabens. The research presented important results, although more detailed studies on yield are required, to check cost of production andperformance with other concentrations of this oil to elucidate its true bioactivity, its therapeutic potential and its clinical utility.

A escolha das substâncias com atividade antimicrobiana que serão incorporadas aos cosméticos para prevenir a contaminação deve ser feita de forma criteriosa, em concentrações adequadas que garantam eficácia e segurança. Os conservantes químicos disponíveis no mercado apresentam, sem exceção, algum risco de hipersensibilidade e, por isso esforços têm sido direcionados para o desenvolvimento de compostos naturais com atividade antimicrobiana com o propósito de reduzir ou substituir conservantes químicos tradicionais. Os óleos essenciais transformaram-se em géis, cremes, loções e hoje, estudos demonstram o seu possível uso como agentes conservantes naturais. Este trabalho tem o objetivo de verificar se o óleo de alecrim (Rosmarinus officinalis) é eficaz como conservante para bases cosméticas comparado aos conservantes químicos metil e propil parabenos. O método utilizado foi o teste de difusão em ágar onde utilizaram-se diferentes concentrações dos conservantes contra a bactéria Escherichia coli e o fungo Candida albicans. Os resultados indicaram que o óleo essencial de alecrim apresenta potencial intermediário de atividade bacteriostática, uma vez que produziu halos de inibição, porém menores do que os produzidos pelos parabenos. A pesquisa apresentou resultados importantes, embora sejam necessários estudos mais detalhados sobre rendimento, custo de produção e desempenho com outras concentrações desse óleo, para elucidar sua verdadeira bioatividade, seu potencial terapêutico e sua utilidade clínica.FATEC Praia Grande2019-10-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://fatecpg.edu.br/revista/index.php/ps/article/view/41Revista Processando o Saber; v. 11 (2019): Revista Processando o Saber; 01-202179-5150reponame:Processando o Saber (Online)instname:Faculdades de Tecnologia do Estado de São Paulo (Fatec)instacron:FATECporhttps://fatecpg.edu.br/revista/index.php/ps/article/view/41/31Copyright (c) 2019 Revista Processando o Saberhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMatos, Janara CamargoCruz, Nina Rosa Santos2020-12-18T21:45:27Zoai:revista.fatecpg.edu.br:article/41Revistahttps://www.fatecpg.edu.br/revista/index.php/ps/indexhttps://fatecpg.edu.br/revista/index.php/ps/oaifabio@fatecpg.edu.br||revista@fatecpg.com.br2179-51502179-5150opendoar:2020-12-18T21:45:27Processando o Saber (Online) - Faculdades de Tecnologia do Estado de São Paulo (Fatec)false
