AI Technical Summary
Cosmetics suffer from microbial spoilage. Most existing antimicrobial agents are synthetically produced, and there is a market demand for natural antimicrobial agents to reduce microbial growth and extend shelf life.
A mixture of 2'-fucosylated lactose (2'-FL) or 3'-sialylated lactose (3'-SL) with compounds selected from 3-[(2-ethylhexyl)oxy]-1,2-propanediol, etc., was used as a natural antimicrobial agent, showing significant antimicrobial effects against microorganisms such as Corynebacterium praecox and Malassezia furfur.
It significantly reduces and prolongs the growth of microorganisms, especially undesirable microorganisms in cosmetics, such as Candida albicans and Aspergillus brasiliensis, extends product shelf life, and promotes the growth of beneficial microorganisms.
