Abstract
It is generally accepted that the barrier to permeation is effectively the outermost 10–15mm of the skin (1–3). To overcome this stratum corneum (SC) obstacle, a molecule must first enter and then cross it. Fick’s law relates the steady-state flux, Js, to the concentration gradient across the SC. If the viable dermis is regarded as a sink, the gradient determining the flux is Csc/h. Since the partition coefficient K of a solute between the SC and vehicle can be written as Csc /Cv, Js can be expressed as: Js 1⁄4 ADKCv=h
