[The effect of cosmetics and dermatologic agents on skin lipids]
1Dermatologische Klinik und Poliklinik, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität, München.
Abstract:
The composition of stratum corneum lipids and of sebum lipids is described with respect to their biological function, with special reference to dry skin. In this context, we discuss desiccation and lipid removal by surfactants and the protective and refatting effects of oil bath products and other lipid-containing preparations for topical use.
