Abstract

The effects of several known penetration enhancers on the lipid structure of human stratum corneum have been investigated by differential scanning calorimetry. Effects on the birefringence were also examined. A correlation was found to exist between the ability of a compound to increase the birefringence of the stratum corneum and its reported tendency to induce local irritation when applied to the skin.
