ABSTRACT / САЖЕТАК:
The main goal of this study is to determine some properties of natural cosmetic creams that may have benefits for the skin. Five different cosmetic cream formulations with ingredients of botanical origin such as plant extracts, plant oil macerates, or essential oils were subjected to determine their phenolic content and antioxidant activity using the DPPH method. Total phenolic compounds were detected in all tested samples in the range of 1.7 to 0.2 mg GA/g but some samples did not contain flavonoids and did not possess antioxidant activity. The highest phenolic content and the strongest antioxidant activity were recorded for samples with the highest number of ingredients of plant origin.
KEYWORDS / КЉУЧНЕ РЕЧИ:
