NOTES

Obtained from Organogenesis (Canton, MA) No integrity test was mentioned. They also measured the conc. Of chemical remaining in the skin after the stratum cormeum had been stripped. They found this skin concentration to be 662+/-121 micrograms/gram. The Kp was not mentioned in the paper. I calculated it by dividing the steady state flux by the concentration
