All 20 subjects completed the study. The demographic characteristics of the sample are shown in table 1. All non-invasive tests were carried out by the same experimenter at an average ambient temperature of 22 ° C and an average relative humidity of 56%. All tests were performed in the morning between 10 am and 2 pm.

EVALUATION OF THE MOISTURIZING EFFICACY

Corneometry

The skin hydration values increase statistically significantly in the Long Term Test (table 2).

EVALUATION OF LENITIVE EFFICACY

After the application of SDS in occlusion, the active agent was able to reduce the TEWL and erythema after 4 hours from its application (Table 3). No changes were found in the control area compared to baseline.
