The effect of nonionic surfactants on the antimicrobial activity of preservatives in cosmetic products

비이온 계면 활성제가 화장품의 방부력에 미치는 영향

In order to investigate the effect of nonionic surfactants on the antimicrobial activity of preservatives in the presence and absence of p.0.E(20) Sorbitan fatty acid ester commonly used in cosmetics and pharmaceutical systems, these experiments were carried out by determining Minimum Inhibitory Concentration(MIC) values and MIC values of adaptation against test organisms. And also the inactivation of the preservative against each microorganism in formula added with various concentrations of P.0.E(20) Sorbitan monostearate were measured by use of a preservative death time curve The results obtained were as fort low : 1) Nonionic surfactant inactivated Methylparaben to varying extents, but not Imidazolidinyl urea. 2) A combined preservative system was inactivated to a little extent (range of 0.16-0.20% Conc.), no adaptation was observed for the 5. aureus ATCC 6538. Imidazolidinyl urea complex combined with Methylparaben had a broad antibacterial spectrum against the Gram(.) and the Gram(-) bacteria It was found that preservatives had a synergistic effect by use of mixed form of preservatives, 3) In formula preserved with 0.2% Methylparaben containing 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0% P.0.E(20) Sorbitan monostearate, E. coli ATCC 10s36 and P. aeruginosa NCTC 10490 died quickly within in 2hr 4) However, from Fig.5, S. aereus ATCC 6538 died more slowly within increasing surfactant concentration and the D-values(Decimal reduction time) were 5.2, 8 and 14 hr. for samples containing 0.5, 1 0 and 2.0% P 0. E(20) Sorbitan monostearate, respectively. 5) In the case of Methylparaben, no adaptation for the E. coli ATCC 10536 6) All of the nonionic surfactant, p.0. E(20) Sorbitan fatty acid ester used in the experiments decreased the effectiveness of Methylparaben, but not of Imidazolidinyl urea.

방부제와 계면활성제를 혼합 사용하였을 경우 미생물에 대한 방부력 변화를 검토하고자 Imidazolidinyl urea, Methylparaben, Imidazolidinyl urea와 Methylparaben 혼합체 3종의 농도에 따른 각 농도별 계면활성제 Tween 20, Tween60, Tween 80의 첨가가 S. aureus ATCC E. coli ATCC 10536, P. aeruginosa NCTC 10490에 대한 방부력에 미치는 영향을 실험하였으며, 아울러 제품내에서 Tween 60 계면활성제 농도에 변화를 주었을 때의 방부력 변화를 조사하였다. 1. S. aureus ATCC 6538 Methylparaben과 Imidazolidinyl urea 혼합체에 대해 내성을 전혀 갖지 않았다. 2. E. coli ATCC 10536은 Mithylparaben에 대하여 내성을 전혀 갖지 않았다. 3. Mithlparaben과 Imidazolidinyl urea 혼합체는 Gram 음성균, Gram 양성균에 넓은 향균 spectrum을 나타났다. 즉, 방부제는 단일 사용시보다 혼합 사용시 상승효과를 가졌다. 4. Imidazolidinyl urea는 Polyoxyethylene(20) Sorbitan fatty acid ester류에 의해 전혀 방부력에 영향을 받지 않는 반면에 시험균주 3종에 대해 내성이 잘 되었다. 5. Muthylparaben은 Polyoxyethylene(20) Sorbitan fatty acid ester류에 의해 불활성화가 큰 폭으로 나타났다. 6. 방부제 Methyparaben 0.2%를 함유하는 제품에 비이온 계면활성제 Tween 60의 량을 0.5, 1.0, 2.0%로 달리 첨가하였을시 D-value는 제품내 비이온 계면활성제 Tween 60의 량이 증가할수록 비례하여 커졌다. 즉, 비이온 계면활성제 Polyoxyethylene(20) Sorbitan monostearate에 의해 Methylparaben이 제품내에서도 불활성화 되었다.
