The chronic effects of the irritant sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS) on stratum corneum (SC) barrier function, determined by transepidermal water loss (TEWL) measurements and on epidermal cell kinetics, estimated by stratum corneum turnover time (SCTT) determination (dansyl chloride staining method), were investigated in 18 healthy female volunteers. SLS (7.5%) was applied without occlusion for 20 min once daily, over a period of 3 weeks (5 days a week) on dansyl chloride-stained skin and on untreated skin. SCTT of untreated skin (19.3 +/- 0.8 days; mean +/- SEM) was not changed by daily treatment with water (control) (19.3 +/- 2.0) but was significantly reduced by SLS (10.9 +/- 0.6; P less than or equal to 0.0001; compared to controls). However, TEWL was increased in SLS-treated sites 1.5-fold after 4 days of treatment (5.3 +/- 0.6 vs. 3.5 +/- 0.3; P less than 0.001). At the end of the second week, TEWL was increased 2.6-fold and after 3 weeks TEWL was 3.3 times higher than in controls 13.0 +/- 1.6 vs. 3.9, P less than or equal to 0.0001). The intensity of SLS-induced irritation as measured by TEWL was significantly correlated with baseline TEWL (r = 0.50; P less than or equal to 0.02) and significantly negatively correlated with SCTT of SLS treated sites (r = -50; P less than or equal to 0.02) but not with SCTT of untreated skin (r = 0.19).
