The main aim of this work was to validate the antioxidant capacity of selected anhydrous cosmetic sera from the same manufacturer with the use of DPPH method. Microtiter plate reader was used to measure the absorbance of the samples, then the effective concentration (EC50) was calculated and the results were being compared. The results revealed which cosmetic sera are efficient in oxidative defence. Due to some cosmetic sera, that contain phenolic compounds, also the phenolic compound content with the use of Folin – Ciocalteu method was being measured.
