Study of the Antimicrobial Properties of Compositions Based on Essential Oils From Eucalyptus and Thuja Plants With White Naphthalan Oil

Abstract

Cosmetic and medical oils have been widely used in medicine and cosmetology for many years. The main function of medical oils is to be a carrier in medicinal preparations. But in many cases, they perform a therapeutic function at the same time. It should be noted that for obtaining medical and cosmetic oils, low-sulfur and low-paraffin oils are more appropriate. In the context of the conducted research, the antimicrobial activity of various combinations of essential oils obtained from eucalyptus and thuja plants with therapeutic white naphthalan oil taken as a control variant was studied to clarify the effective bactericidal action mechanism. In the preparation of these compositions were prepared with the addition of therapeutic white naphthalan oil as the main component, and in addition, essential oil separated from eucalyptus and thuja plants in the ratio of 1:0,04:0,08:0,1 was analyzed for their antimicrobial effects on 4 microbes (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans). Medicinal and cosmetic products were determined according to the received antimicrobial effective compositions.
