Abstract

Upotreba prirodne kozmetike danas je sve češća budući da među potrošačima raste potražnja za takvom vrstom proizvoda. S porastom upotrebe prirodne kozmetike raste i potreba za korištenjem prirodnih konzervansa. Eterična ulja vrlo su se brzo profilirala kao jedna od glavnih zamjena za sintetičke konzervanse. Kompleksne su mješavine raznih kemijskih spojeva koje se dobivaju metodama destilacije i ekstrakcije iz različitih dijelova biljaka. Eterična ulja mogu djelovati protuupalno, analgetski i antimikrobno. Antimikrobni učinak eteričnih ulja ovisi o sastavu, koncentraciji i interakciji aktivnih kemijskih sastojaka kao i o vrsti mikroorganizma na koje djeluju. Ovaj rad za cilj ima pružiti pregled dosadašnjih spoznaja o antimikrobnim svojstvima i mehanizmima djelovanja eteričnih ulja, te procijeniti učinkovitost i sigurnost njihove uporabe, naročito u prirodnoj kozmetici.

Abstract (english)

The use of natural cosmetics is becoming more and more common today, as consumers' demand for this type of product is growing. With the increase in the use of natural cosmetics, the need for natural preservatives also increases. Essential oils quickly profiled themselves as one of the main substitutes for synthetic preservatives. Essential oils are very complex mixtures of various chemical compounds obtained by methods of distillation and extraction from different parts of plants. Essential oils can have anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antimicrobial effects. The antimicrobial effect of essential oils depends on the composition, concentration, and interaction of the active chemical ingredients, as well as on the type of microorganism they act on. The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of the current knowledge about the antimicrobial properties and mechanisms of action of essential oils, and to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of their use, especially in natural cosmetics.
