The microbiological indicators of the Microbiological Test mainly include: total bacteria, mold and yeast, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Salmonella, Candida albicans, Clostridium, Enterobacter, and Gram Negative bacteria and bile are resistant to Gram-negative bacteria.

The regulations/standards on which microbiological testing is based include:

             ● European Pharmacopoeia (EP 2.6.12 & 2.6.13);

             ● British Pharmacopoeia (BP Appx. XVI B);

             ● United States Pharmacopoeia (USP61 & 62);

             ● EU Cosmetics and Fragrance Association Guidelines (Cosmetics Europe);

             ● Cosmetics and Fragrance Association (TFA).
