Skin care products often utilize the remarkable benefits of plant-derived ingredients, which have been recognized for their antimicrobial properties. In this study, it will focus on three plant products commonly used in skincare: herbal extracts, gental (possibly a typo for "gentle" or another specific plant), and macadamia oil. The goal of the experiment is to assess their effectiveness in inhibiting the growth of bacteria, which can cause various skin issues. To conduct this, we will compare the antibacterial activity of these plant-derived products against a negative control (water) and a positive control (Ceftriaxone), a well-known antibiotic.
