Plant extracts are now widely used in the production of cosmetics, mainly due to the presence of biologically active compounds, including those with antioxidant properties. This type of biological activity is particularly desirable in micellar liquids for daily cleansing and facial care. Aim. The aim of this study was to examine and compare the composition and antioxidant properties of selected miceral fluids containing plant extracts. Material and methods. In this study six miceral fluids were used. The neutralization capacity of free radicals was determined by spectrophotometric methods using an Infinite 200F (Tecan) microplate reader with the use DPPH. (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) radical and the ABTS+. (2,2-azabicyclo-3-ethylbenzothiazoline- sulfonate). Results and conclusion. The micellar fluids showed different antioxidant activity. The highest antioxidant activity in the DPPH. method was proved by the fluid produced by the brand Vianek, while in the ABTS+. method the fluid produced by the brand Uroda.
