Currently, the cosmetic industry is a very intensively growing part of the economy. Consumer demands are adapted to the current lifestyle, which is based on technological innovations and awareness of the impact of various factors on human health and fitness. There is growing interest in cosmetics based on environmentally friendly natural compounds exerting health-promoting effects. Chemicals with antimicrobial properties used as ingredients in cosmetics ensure their durability and safety. Polyphenolic compounds, peptides, essential oils, and plant extracts characterized by these properties are natural ingredients that can replace synthetic components of cosmetics. The advantage of these compounds is that they exhibit antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and soothing properties, enhancing the product value in addition to their antimicrobial properties. This review article describes the antimicrobial properties of natural compounds that can protect cosmetics and can replace previously used preservative agents. Various studies indicate that the use of these compounds increases consumer interest in these products and has a positive impact on the environment.
目前，化妆品行业是经济中增长极为迅速的一部分。消费者需求适应了当前的生活方式，这种生活方式基于技术创新以及对各种因素对人类健康和体能影响的认知。人们对基于具有促进健康作用的环保天然化合物的化妆品兴趣日增。具有抗菌特性的化学物质用作化妆品成分可确保其耐用性和安全性。具有这些特性的多酚类化合物、肽、精油和植物提取物是可替代化妆品合成成分的天然成分。这些化合物的优势在于它们具有抗氧化、抗炎和舒缓特性，除抗菌特性外还提升了产品价值。这篇综述文章描述了可保护化妆品并能替代先前使用的防腐剂的天然化合物的抗菌特性。各项研究表明，使用这些化合物会增加消费者对这些产品的兴趣，并对环境产生积极影响。
