Muller *Department of Biopharmacy, Spirig AG, CH-4622 Egerkingen (Switzerland) Received: October 26, 1989: Presented at at 3rd lnternational Congress on Cosmetic Dermatology "Progress in Cosmetic Dermatology" - 27 - 29th October 1989, Wien Key words: lrritation: Scarification: Stripping: Na-Lauryl Su/fate: Propylene Glycol: Urea: Osmolarity; pH; Antimicrobials. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Synopsis Dermatologica! fo rmulations often are appl ied on les ioned skin in the course of the treatment of fo r example d ry skin, eczema or atopic disease. Therefore we felt it important to devise a test fo r quantification of the toleran ce of these formulations. For this purpose, the horny layer was tape-stripped unti! the transepidermal water loss (TEWL, as measured under standard conditions) attai ned 40-50 g/cm2 h. This needed approximately I0-15 strips. After an interval of at least 30 min during which the TEWL decreased to values of 30-40 g/cm2 h, the test products were applied to the stripped area and the reactions were assessed by the volun teer accord ing to a 4-point scale during and immediately after the applications. Standards were used fo r q uantification, identification and comparison purposes: NaC I (0.l - 10%), Urea (0.5-20%) and Propylene Glycol (l-70%). In addi tion the pH of the test solution was varied between 3 and 8. Curves relating-effect to concentration allowed more precise assessment of the relative roles of the diffe re nt components of formulations. For example, Urea and Propylene G lycol may lead to buming reactions on lesioned skin at the concentrations usually found in dermatologica! products. Similarly, antimicrobials in permitted concentrations may play a role in these reactions. -----------------Riassunto Le formu lazioni dermatologiche vengono spesso applicate su cute lesa per eccessiva secchezza, per la presenza di eczemi o di dermatiti atopiche. È perciò importante che venga accuratamente valutata la tolleranza di queste formulazioni. A questo scopo sono stati eliminati mediante "strappo" alc uni strati del corneo fino ad ottenere una TEWL di 40-50 g/cm 2 h. A tal rig uardo sono necessari circa 10/15 "strappi". Dopo circa 30 minuti durante i quali i valori TEWL raggiungevano il valore di 30-40 g/cm 2/h venivano applicati i prodotti da sperimentare sulle zone im poverite di corneo. Rilevando la reattività ottenuta mediante una scala d i valori numerici prima e dopo l 'applicazione dei prodotti è stato possibile controllare il grado di tolleranza di alcune materie prime di uso corrente, quali ad esempio l'Urea ed il glicol propilenico. È stata verificata anche l'influenza svolta dal pH, e dalle diverse concentrazioni d ' uso permesse. 25 Toterance of the tesioned skin to dermatologica/ formulations Professor Albert Kligman wrote in 1982 (1): "In our age of skin consciousness and abundant use of cosmetics and toiletries aware ness is growing that the great majority of undesired reactions represent irritancy." And further: "The biologie truth is that ali substances are irritating for some persons under some conditio ns, althoug h extreme exposures may be necessary to bring this to light." End of citation. The problem of irritation is far from a theoretical one. Irritation could be tentatively defined as a very generai notion for undesired reac tions. These can widely vary in their intensity, in their man ifestations and in the moment they will be perceived as suc h because people diffe r enormously in their susceptibility to irritating substances and because the reactivity of the skin is influenced by many fac tors. In add ition, topica! preparations, whether drugs or cosmetics, are o ften app lied to da maged skin . Indeed, it is surpris ing how often c reams or ointments a re used as home remedies for burns, abrasions, bites, and rashes of ali kinds. Hence it is not out of order or unrealistic to assess the probability of a substance being irritative under the most ex treme conditions. This perm its di scrimination among the test products because reactions are suffici entl y intense also METHOD Stripping l Application l Rest allowing some standard isation. For this purpose, we must make sure that the substance reach the viable tissue under the horny layer. The barrier can be eliminated by scarifi cation, as in the scarification test of Frosch a nd Kligman (2) or by tape stripping. Testin.g products on damaged skin is also necessary if, as in our case, are primarily aimed at ili people. Among the many reactions of the skin whic h co uld be c lassified under irrita tion we were especially interested in those called " in visible reactions" by Professor Kligman (I). Topica! preparations can cause di sagreeable sensations - burning, itching, stinging - immed iate ly after appli cation a nd w ill be rejected by the consumers, especially in pediatrics. These preparations are not irritative in the ordinary sense and usually do not damage the skin. The reactions can be very intense and unpleasant, a nd this is why we feel it important, for the products we are selling, to try to evaluate such immedia te reactions. For ali these reasons, we performed the tests on stripped skin and recorded immediate reactions. We used the following method (Fig . l): On the ventral side of fo rearms, up to 5 areas of approximately lx 2 cm were stripped. Strip ping was continued unti! the transepidermal water Reaction Mean Score o <0.5 absent 0.5 - 1.0 slight 1.1 - 2.0 moderate 2.1 -3.0 severe 1 2 3· g g 8 Q FIGURE 1 26 B. Gabard. Th. Nook and K.H.

T he reaf te r, a rest ing peri od of at least 30 min was observed, duri ng whic h the transepide rmal wate r loss stabilised around va lues of 30-40 g/m 2 xh a nd the sensation of irri tation due to the stri pping vanished . The test products were applied on the stripped area tak ing care to avoid or mi nimalise any mec han ica l st imu la t io n. Li quid p rod uc ts were dropped on the skin with a pne um ati c pi pette, c reams and ointrnents were careful ly pasted on the stripped surface. The test produc ts remained on the stripped area for a max imum of 3 mi n. Im med iate sensations, mainl y bu rn ing, were graded on a fo ur poi nt scale from O (no reacti o n), I (s light), 2 (mode ra te) to 3 (severe). Mean scores were calculated a nd the results expressed as < (lower) 0.4 (no reaction), 0.5 to 1.0 (slig ht), I. I to 2.0 (mode ra te) a nd 2 . 1 to 3.0 (severe). This gradation has also been used by Frosch and Kl igman to class ify the irrita tio n meas ured with the scarifi cation test thus enabling comparisons to be made, although we are aware that the two phenome na a re com ple te ly differe nt in their nature. First, we investigated reactions to di fferent classes of substances used in topica! fo rmul ations su c h as su rfacta nts, pe ne tra t ion e nh a ncers , moisturi zers, a li in aqueo us solutions. Sodium La ury l S ulfate (Fig . 2) is a good examp le to s ho w the d iffe re nce we fo un d be tw ee n th e scarifi cation tes t a nd o ur tes t. T his agent is known to irri tate the norma i skin at the concentrations we used a nd scarificati on greatly reduces the irritati on th reshold.

It would be necessary for the medicai community to educate the lay pubblic that the reported prevalence rates are clinical and therefore of not d irect relevance to the generai population. It woul d be also of paramoun t importance to educate the public to realise that a positive patch-test is not, of itself, proof that the current clinical cond it ions was caused by that a llergen. Riassunto L'attenzione che il grande pubblico riserva agli articoli riguardanti le allergie c utanee è spesso superi ore de ll ' analoga atte nzione rivolta ai rapporti sull a carcinogenesi provocata dall ' uso de lle sigarette. Sarebbe a uspicabile, quindi che la classe medi ca educasse il pubblico a valu tare piu attentame nte i dati clin ici perché non sempre l'alle rgene evidenziato è il vero responsabile d i un dato quadro clinico e non sempre la specifica reattivi tà cutanea di poch i individui e estensibile ad una vasta popola zione. 31 Contact allergie dermatitis:the need tor consistency in data collection and analysis There is currently a heightened awareness, on baseline clinical population. The choice off th is baseline population varies from cli nic to clinic the part of the generai public, of the problems and so therefore do the prevale nce rates.

This awareness, particularly in the example of how the prevale nce rates vary with the c hoice of denominator, cons ider the fallowarea of cosmetics and toil e tri es, is in som e respects a consequence of our consumer coning simple model.

Re le vance of positive patch-test reactions has become a major area of concern for those worki ng in the fie ld of contact dermatitis. The reason that many positive reacti ons are not re levant is that the e lic itation of sensitisatio n is no t ali or none phe nomenon. Like the majority of effects seen in pha rmaco logy a nd tox icology, skin sen siti sation shows c lear dose re spo nse re lationships. Thus a lthoug h the patient may react to a che mical in a patc h-tes t at a pa rtic ul a r co ncentrati o n, they may never react to the much lower concentrati ons that they a re exposed to in every day li fe. In other words, the patch-test re sponse gives the most pess imistic measure of risk rathe r than the actua l risk.

Riassunto Nel tentativo di giungere ad una diagnosi certa si sono eseguiti 6.200 patch test predittivi. 497 (8%) delle risposte positive sono da addebitarsi a ingredienti cosmetici. La reattività è molto evidente in 221 (3,6 %) patch test e soltanto 8 (0, I %) risposte positive sono attribuibi li a composti donatori di formaldeide. È stato, inoltre, rilevato che il grado di positività ri scontrata per la presenza dei donatori di formaldeide e direttamente correlabile al grado di sensibilizzazione alla formaldeide dei soggetti esaminati. 35 Contact al/ergy to preservatives in cosmetics and relationship to the degree of formaldehyde A/lergy Cosmetic- relate d a lle rg ies are the subject o f numerous public ation s. So w ill onl y briefl y prese n t ou r ep idem iolog ica ! data, w hi c h is limi ted to em ul s ifie rs an d preservati ve s, and draw attentio n to possible correlations wi th the fo rmalde hyde a lle rgy. 7254 patie nts were patch tested because of a tentati ve di agnos is of "contact dermatitis or eczem a", 5470 w ith th e GDR -s tandard series, containing wool alcoho ls and parabens, and 620 with a specia l series (emuls ifiers and preservati ves); a ltogether 6200 patie nts were tested with potenti a l ing red ients of cosmetics. In tab le I the statistica( res ults from our computer s tore d data a re s ummari zed. Th e re levance was determined o n the bas is of case hi sto ry a nd medi ca i examinati o n. This tabl e shows two things: first the well known fact that side effects from addi tives are much more freque nt in th e rapeuti c pre parations, applie d to damaged skin and proba bly containing othe r po we rful se ns iti zers, than in cos me tics. The re lati on 221 :45, th at is about 5: I , agreed wi th other published experiences in this fie ld. Secondly we ca n see tha t the ranking list of such allergens depends on the frequency of pe rformed tests and on the duration and amount of exposure. Parabens have for many years been the bas ic preservatives in nearly ali vehicl es of the o il in water-type, produced in the GDR. Piaso lan®, an imidazolidinyl urea like Germall®, has been used fo r about LO years, Bronopol®and Kathon CG® since 1985. The " othe r preservati ves" include sorb ic acid, gallates and benza lconium c hl o ride, up to now (l989) no Kathon CG®. From the 8 cosmetic-re lated a lle rg ies to form alcle hyde re leasers (FR) only 5 also showed a fo rmaldehyde a llergy. As these substances are no part of the standard series, a lo t of sensiti zations may have been undetected. On the othe r hand , formalde hycle has unques ti o nabl y bee n the major a llergen in the GDR for many years, espec iall y in young women, that is in persons w ho no rmall y use a lot of cos me ti cs. So we considere d whether cosmetic intolerance mi g ht be re lated to forma lclehyde allergy.

The vehi c le of the FR (un gt. e muls. aq uos.) is the o/w-emuls ion of our pharmacopoeia and the basic vehi cle in this type of cosmetic. In the rema ining 140 subj ects, suffe ring from proven allergy to formalcle hyde, confirmed by repeatecl patch testing ancl aclditiona ll y by the case history and c linica! pattern, we obtained these results: Two aspects a re of cosmetica! interest. I.: The potential hazard varies distinctly among the different FR. It is low for Bronopol®, somewhat higher for Germall®and Piasolan®, respect i ve ly, a ncl cle arly hi g her in Dow ic il 200®. Grotan BK®, a biocide in c utting fluids, is the strongest alle rgen and clearly re leases the most formaldehyde. Among these 3 preservatives the amount of free formald e hyde in fres h and 3 month s tored pre pa ration s, re s pec ti ve ly, decreased from Dowic il 200®, set as I00%, to a bo ut 50% in G e rm a ll 11 5 ® and 20% in Bronopol®, as described by HABEL. This is the same order as in most other published rank ing li sts of contac t all e rg ies to cosmetics, for instance those by FISHER, DE GROOT or EIERMA NN. Though onl y a part of the allergies to suc h prese rvatives is coupled with a formal dehyde allergy, their sensitizing potency is obviously re la teci to the amount of released fo rmaldehyde. 2.: The freque ncy of positive tests due to FR is significantly corre lated with the degree of hypersensitivity to forn1aldehyde (p <O.O I). Hence it fol lows th at especiall y in persons with highly marked hypersensiti vity to formaldehyde FR in cosmetics are capable o f provoking rela pses o f a llergie de rmatitis. But even these positive patch test reactions do not autom aticall y imply an intolerance of cosmetics. Only 5 of the 66 a lle rg ie wome n, tested in Dresde n, had a con firmed case his tory of contact de rm atitis from skin care products containing FR. None had problems with rinse off produc ts.
