user. Various selective media are available with HiMedia for specific microorganisms’ detection. The cosmetic is diluted and streaked onto its respective selective media. The plates
are incubated appropriately and checked for growth. The pathogens usually tested are
Bacillus, Clostridia, Enterobacteriaceae , Lipolytic microorganisms, Staphylococci ,
