The aimof this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of selected essential oils (Laurus nobilis, Eucalyptus globulus and Salvia o⁄cinalis), both alone and in combination, in cosmetic preparations characterized by an increasing risk of microbial contamination, i.e. an O/Wskin cream, a hydrogel and a nonalcoholic hydrolyte.Their potential synergistic e¡ect incombinationwiththe usual cosmetic preservatives at low concentrations (up to 200-fold less than usual) was also investigated.
