Bacterial cellulose (BC) produced by certain bacteria has the potential to be used in many different areas. Despite its advantageous properties such as high purity, mechanical strength, nano ber mesh structure, and high-water holding capacity, its production through a biotechnological process prevents it from competing with vegetable cellulose in terms of cost-effectiveness. Therefore, studies associated with BC can be divided in two categories which are development cost effective BC production methods and culture media, and production of high value-added products from BC. In this study, it was aimed to develop a taurine-loaded moisturizing facial mask with antioxidant properties based on BC's high-water retention and chemical retention capacity. BC facial mask samples were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) imaging, Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Liquid Chromatography-Mass spectrometry (LC-MS), microbial, and mechanical stability tests. According to our results, produced facial mask samples do not show any cytotoxic effect on neither human keratinocyte (HS2) nor mouse broblast (L-929) cell lines, it has high thermal stability which making it suitable for different sterilization techniques including sterilization by heat treatment. Taurine release (over 2µg/ml in 5 min) and microbial stability tests (no bacterial growth observed) of packaged products kept at 40 and 25 °C for 6 months have shown that the product preserves its characteristics for a long time. In conclusion "bacterial cellulose-based facial masks" are suitable for use as a facial mask, and they can be used for moisturizing and antioxidant properties by means of taurine.
