Aerobic Spore-Formers (Bacillus spp.) as Contaminants of Cosmetic Products
A SOFW Journal article was published in August about aerobic spore formers in cosmetic products.
The article addresses the following questions:
- What are the characteristics of aerobic spore formers, especially Bacillus spp.?
- Do aerobic spore formers pose a potential risk in cosmetic products?
- What are the contamination pathways with Bacillus spp.?
- What possible protective measures (manufacturing environment, preservation) can minimize contamination?
