The composition of waterproof barrier creams’ ingredients and their barrier properties

Journal Title: CHEMIK nauka-technika-rynek - Year 2012, Vol 66, Issue 9

Abstract

Hands’ skin protection is important due to growing number of cases of contact dermatitis, caused by contact with harmful or irritating substances. The best protection provide gloves, but when the use of them is not recommended skin protection measure can be applied, on condition that it has apropriate barrier properties. Laboratory tests for assessing effectiveness of barrier hydrophobic preparations confirmed the conclusions from the analysis of substrates used in their production. The best hydrophobic properties had a preparation which contain only barrier substances, without cosmetic additives.
