Life of this patent

Estimating the term…

A method of selecting a skin barrier system suitable for infants and young children is disclosed.

Dependent claims

A method of evaluating an ability of a skin barrier system to protect infant skin from external irritants, comprising:

a) topically applying said barrier system to adult skin;
b) topically applying an external irritant to said barrier system treated adult skin;
c) observing the production of inflammatory molecules in said barrier system treated adult skin;
d) using a computational model of adult skin inflammation to visualize an effect of the external irritant by optimizing inflammation parameters so that the model of adult skin inflammation profiles match the experimental data;
e) transferring the optimized inflammation parameters to a computational model of infant skin;
and
f) determining the impact of the irritant in the computational model of infant skin.
