A survey was conducted to assess both the potential health risk from shared-use cosmetics caused by microorganisms and the microbial efficacy of preservatives in cosmetics. Samples of 3027 shared-use cosmetic products were collected from 171 retail establishments nationwide. Fungi were present in 10.4% of the products, and 3.9% contained fungal pathogens or opportunistic pathogens. The 423 fungal isolates identified represented 33 genera and at least 69 species. A disproportionately large share of the fungal isolates were from eye products; fewer were from lip products. Pathogenic or opportunistic pathogens made up 32.2% of the fungal isolates. A slightly lower percentage of samples that contained preservatives had fungi, a fact suggesting that preservatives reduce the incidence of fungi in cosmetics. Results of this survey indicate potential microbiological problems concerning the safety of shared-use cosmetics.
开展了一项调查，以评估共用化妆品中微生物引起的潜在健康风险以及化妆品中防腐剂的微生物功效。从全国171家零售机构收集了3027份共用化妆品产品样本。10.4%的产品中存在真菌，3.9%的产品含有真菌病原体或机会致病菌。鉴定出的423株真菌分离株代表33个属和至少69个种。很大一部分真菌分离株来自眼部产品；来自唇部产品的较少。致病或机会致病菌占真菌分离株的32.2%。含有防腐剂的样本中真菌的比例略低，这一事实表明防腐剂可降低化妆品中真菌的发生率。这项调查结果表明共用化妆品安全性存在潜在的微生物问题。
