High impact information on Skin Irritancy Tests

  • Using mannitol as a reference compound, penetration profiles and epidermal distribution similar to those obtained with human skin ex vivo were obtained both with EpiDerm and Episkin [1].
  • Compared with native epidermis and RE-DED in EpiDerm, SkinEthic and Episkin models, the content of polar ceramides 5 and 6 was lower, ceramide 7 was absent, and the content of free fatty acids was very low [2].
  • The present study aimed at evaluating the influence on caffeine's and alpha-tocopherol's cutaneous bioavailability of cosmetic vehicles such as a water-in-oil emulsion, an oil-in-water emulsion, a liposome dispersion and a hydrogel applied at finite dose using the reconstructed human skin models EpiDerm and Episkin [3].
  • Improved protocols and PMs for the EpiDerm and EPISKIN methods, the pig ear test, and the SIFT were presented at an extended Task Force meeting held in May 2001 [4].
  • The reproducibility of 3 industrial models--EpiDerm, Episkin and SkinEthic--was tested regarding the permeation and skin absorption of 3 topically applied compounds (with a large range of physicochemical properties): lauric acid, caffeine and mannitol [5].
 

Associations of Skin Irritancy Tests with chemical compounds

  • The MTT viability results showed that EpiDerm was the most resistant to the SLS treatment and at the same time the most reproducible model, SkinEthic was the most sensitive to SLS and the least reproducible, and Episkin and the Cosmital model were intermediate [6].
