Standardization of skin cleansing <i>in vivo</i>: part <scp>II</scp>. Validation of a newly developed Automated Cleansing Device (<scp>AC</scp>iD)

Abstract

Intra- and inter-device specific test results of an in vivo model of skin cleansing using the automated cleansing device (ACiD) were reproducible. The long-term aim is a standardized classification of occupational skin cleansing products comparing their skin cleansing effectiveness in relation to their skin irritancy. This might then provide the basis for a rational specific product selection by consumers and may be used as a tool for future product development by manufacturers.
