The water content of the stratum corneum (SC) is a key factor in skin barrier homeostasis; it is intimately related to both skin condition and skin permeability. Studies of water uptake in excised human SC show strong similarities and allow characterization of the equilibrium SC water sorption isoth

At low water activities, stratum corneum (SC) water sorption resembles that in other keratinized tissues (i.e., wool and horn), whereas at high water activities, it resembles that in polymeric hydrogels. We propose that the concentration-dependent water diffusivity observed in these other systems ap
The stratum corneum of various donors differs in particular in the composition of the lipoidal phase. Considering the drug amounts penetrating into the stratum corneum a simple methodology to correlate these differences in the stratum corneum composition with the drug amounts detectable within the s
