Taking an alcohol swab of a person’s forearm and analyzing it using a spectrophotometer has been shown to be a reliable method for detecting the presence of sunscreen. The aims of this study were to determine if moisturizing lotions or other non-sunscreen products influence the absorbance readings from skin swabs in a controlled setting, and to establish the cutoff point in determining the pres...

A moisturizing cream mixed with a steroid ointment is frequently prescribed to patients suffering from atopic dermatitis. However, there is a concern that the mixing operation causes destabilization. The present study was performed to investigate the stability of such preparations closely using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). As sample preparations, five commercial moisturizing creams that ar...

Genes of the S100 fused-type protein (SFTP) family are clustered within the epidermal differentiation complex and encode essential components that maintain epithelial homeostasis and barrier functions. Recent genetic studies have shown that mutations within the gene encoding the SFTP filaggrin cause ichthyosis vulgaris and are major predisposing factors for atopic dermatitis. As a vital compone...

BACKGROUND From birth, the functional properties of the neonatal epidermal barrier mature whereby the stratum corneum (SC) hydrates and the skin surface acidifies. The identification of a thinner infant SC compared with adults suggests underdeveloped mechanisms underlying differentiation and desquamation. OBJECTIVES To assess the functional properties of the neonatal SC from birth, in conjunc...
