Guillemin, M., Murset, J. C., Lob, M., and Riquez, J. (1974).British Journal of Industrial Medicine,31, 310-316. Simple method to determine the efficiency of a cream used for skin protection against solvents. Most of the industrial organic solvents coming into contact with the skin are absorbed through it and enter the blood. They can then be detected in the breath, the analysis of which makes it easy to evaluate skin absorption. Such an evaluation can be made with and without the use of a skin protective (barrier) cream. A comparison of the results allows the efficiency of the cream to be tested.
