NOTES

Obtained from Skinethic (Nice, France). No integrity test was mentioned. They also measured the concentration of chemical remaining in the skin after the stratum cormeum had been stripped. They found this to be 745+/-216 micrograms/gram. The Kp was not mentioned in the paper. I calculated it by dividing the steady state flux by the concentration
