Assessing the in vivo impact of a gel sanitizer on the epidermal barrier dynamics

Abstract: 69 Biomedical and Biopharmaceutical Research J o r n a l d e I n v e s t i g a ç ã o B i o m é d i c a e B i o f a r m a c ê u t i c aAssessing the in vivo impact of a gel sanitizer on the epidermal "barrier" dynamics Avaliação do impacto in vivo de um gel desinfetante na dinâmica da "barreira" epidérmica AbstractDisease prevention and control depend on hand washing, in particular during epidemic surges (e.g. flu). The use of alcohol-based hand sanitizers is strongly recommended due to its high germicide effe… Show more

“…This suggests that, in the present experimental conditions, the hand sanitizer affected the epidermal barrier function, as previously reported [12] , accepting that the increase of SH and DH could be attributed to the humectants included in the formulation [15] . Looking further to these TEWL desorption curves (Table 3), both t 1/2 evap and DWM increased in both hands between t 0 and t 2 and between t 2 and t 4 , but without statistically significance in any of these time intervals.…”

“…Furthermore, no significant differences were found for these kinetic parameters when comparing the control with the test hand. In a recently published paper [12] , we presented results of a group of 13 volunteers that applied the very same sanitizer during 15 days, 4 mL/day, and significant differences on t 1/2 evap were detected as soon as day 8 of application regarding day 1. These results seem to indicate that ethanol-induced epidermal changes are dose-dependent, meaning that higher usage of this sanitizer might have more obvious, faster impact on the skin water dynamics.…”
