Sensitive Skin Wash

Methodology

In a controlled eight day trial, subjects were tested on using water, Flexitol Sensitive Skin Wash and a wash that contained 0.2% of SDS. The trial was conducted using The Tewameter TM 210 to measure the water loss on the skin surface.

Results

The results found were that the TEWL value of water was 0.3, whereas in comparison to Flexitol Sensitive Skin Wash it was 0.7. Therefore the conclusion was that the product is almost as least drying as water.

The results found that Flexitol Sensitive Skin Wash did not produce any signs of irritation, and is therefore as low irritating as water and 4.8 times less irritating than the wash that contained 0.2% of SDS.
