      In recent years, two of the main problems confronting cosmetic chemists have been to obtain the absorption of cosmetic products through the skin layer, and to prove their clinical efficacy. In fact, the interference caused by all the products topically applied to the skin, mainly on the intercellular lipids of the stratum corneum (SC) but also on the cellular membrane of all the viable skin layers, determines both the minor or major efficacy of the cosmetic principles used and, of course, the eventual undesirable side effects that might arise.
