M Loden,
2nd edition, Dermatology: Clinical & Basic Science Series: Volume 27, 520 pp., 2005.
The first edition of this book was the first book devoted to all aspects of moisturizers, a subject given short shrift in dermatologic texts.
Completely revised and updated, the second edition presents the most recent research findings and contains highly relevant information for future possibilities to scientifically tailor efficient products for dry skin.
With contributors from internationally recognized world-class scientists, this book comprehensively summarizes current knowledge of the field from basic science to clinical practice. The unique combination of detailed information about the skin and moisturizers will enable readers to enhance the well being of patients with dry skin diseases.
This comprehensive book is divided into three parts, with chapters addressing a variety of skin-related topics. Part One focuses on the biochemistry and function of skin, as well as dry skin and hyperkeratotic conditions. Chapters explore everything from particle probes and skin physiology to the distribution and function of physiological elements in skin. Dry skin in atopic dermatitis and patients on hemodialysis; infantile seborrheic dermatitis; experimentally induced dry skin; and the effects of moisturizers and keratolytical agents in psoriasis.
Part Two, Formulations: Interactions with the Skin, explores emulsifiers, hydrophilic pastes, lanolins, glycerin, the influence of fatty acids and fatty alcohols on skin permeability, and more.
And in Part Three, Evaluation and Safety, topics include human in-vitro irritancy testing, non-invasive methods for testing the stratum corneum barrier, and sensitizing substances.
