This is due to the fact that within the DIN method the products are not applied on skin but on metal.

With the method ‘Adhesive Forces on Skin’ we offer a an in-vivo method on human skin. The products are applied to specific areas on the back of the volunteer and then instrumentally removed while documenting the force needed for removal. Afterwards the water content in the skin will be determined.
