A group of scientists have formed a collaborative research project with the aim of working out mathematical
methods to understand how chemical compounds are absorbed by the skin.
The research has been driven by the University of Cincinnati (UC) James L. Winkle College of Pharmacy and funded by a
Brussels-based consortium.
The scientists say that there are broad range of possible applications for the development of consumer products,
specifically cosmetics and personal care.
