An epidermal tridimensional model exhibiting differentiating keratinocytes in a reconstituted stratum corneum model is disclosed. The model, which contains a cancer therapeutic at an amount effective to simulate chronic drug exposure, can be used to evaluate the potential of cancer therapeutics to produce skin related side effects. The method can also be used to evaluate the efficacy of a composition in reducing the effects of cancer therapeutics on skin.

A method of selecting a skin barrier system suitable for infants and young children is disclosed.

Skin barrier preparation and method therefor

A method of selecting skin treatment regimens, ingredients and compositions that includes measuring the levels of particular small molecule metabolites on skin both before and after product application and testing for a change in small molecule metabolite levels is disclosed.

A method of selecting a surfactant system suitable for infants and young children is disclosed.

Mild surfactant preparation and method therefor

A method for demonstrating pre-emergent pimples is disclosed. The method includes providing a camera having a 25 mm macro lens and a linear polarizing filter including from 10 to 50 narrow band filters in the spectral range of 400-970 nm, and a light source having a linear polarizer oriented vertical to a polarization plane of the camera polarizer; taking a sequence of images of the face of a subject with the camera; creating an erythema map of the imaged area using oxy-hemoglobin values at each corresponding pixel; taking a visible-light image of the face of the subject; and comparing the images to see pre-emergent pimples. The method enables consumers to see pre-emergent pimples and treat them, which results in preventing the pimples from emerging or reducing the emergence of the pimples.

The methods of this invention relate to means for measuring skin hydration. The methods of this invention utilize at least two wavelengths filtered by at least two polarizers to create digital images of skin treated with personal care products. The methods are useful for demonstrating the efficacy of skin care products intended to increase skin hydration and/or protect the skin from dehydration, even when such dehydration is not apparent to the naked eye.
