Implication

Randomized trial evaluated antistaphylococcal and antioxidant properties of essential oils, suggesting targeted cosmetic applications.

Key Points

This study aims to characterize the chemical composition of essential oils and evaluate their antistaphylococcal and antioxidant activities for cosmetic applications.
Chemical composition was analyzed using GC-MS and ATR-FTIR spectroscopy.
Antistaphylococcal activity was assessed against Staphylococcus spp. using the microbroth dilution method.
Antioxidant capacity was determined by the DPPH assay and multivariate statistical analyses explored relationships between composition and activity.
Clove, oregano, and thyme EOs showed the strongest antistaphylococcal activity (MIC 0.5–2 mg/mL) and highest antioxidant capacity (>80%).
All EOs demonstrated bactericidal activity against Staphylococcus spp. with consistent susceptibility patterns.
PCA and FTIR confirmed the association between phenolic content and bioactivity.
