Best antibacterial ingredients in skin care
The biggest perk of detoxifying and antibacterial skin care products is that they can help treat or prevent acne and other similar bacterial skin infections. Also, they can help keep the skin’s microbiome - which is a very delicate balance of both good and bad bacteria - in check.
To this purpose, there are many natural and chemical ingredients that foster an antibacterial action. Here are the best and most effective antibacterial ingredients that you should definitely include in your antibacterial skin care line.

TEA TREE OIL
One of the most popular natural antibacterial ingredients in skin care is tea tree oil, known for its effectiveness in treating acne. Many studies show that tea tree oil is highly effective in preventing the growth of bacteria, even in low dosages, showing antibacterial properties, but also anti inflammatory and antiseptic effects.
ROSEHIP OIL
Rosehip oil is derived from the rosa canina rose bush, pressed from the fruit and seeds of the rose plant, and it’s filled with skin nourishing vitamins and essential fatty acids. It also contains phenols, which have been shown to have antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal properties, great for treating eczema-prone skin types.
WITCH HAZEL
Witch hazel - also known as “hamamelis virginiana” - is a shrub indigenous to the United States that has been used for centuries by Native Americans as a remedy for a variety of skin conditions related to irritation and inflammation. Today, witch hazel is a great natural antibacterial ingredient in skin care, renowned for its anti-inflammatory and anti-viral properties, commonly used in acne treatments.
ROSEMARY ESSENTIAL OIL
You heard me! Rosemary isn’t just good in the kitchen, you know. Its extract - which is known to have powerful antibacterial properties - helps reduce puffiness, while soothing the skin.
BENZOYL PEROXIDE
Another antibacterial skin care ingredient you may be familiar with is benzoyl peroxide. This is also both a keratolytic, meaning it exfoliates dead skin cells off the skin's surface, and a comedolytic, meaning it prevents future comedonal acne (whiteheads and blackheads) from forming. Lastly, benzoyl peroxide is an anti-inflammatory agent that reduces redness, swelling, and soreness caused by acne.
These are just a few examples but there’s a whole world of antibacterial essential oils and ingredients that awaits to become the protagonist of your new antibacterial skin care line. How about we help you explore them?
