The skin is the body’s natural protective layer, with two primary barriers to passage: the stratum corneum on the surface and restrictive junctional proteins deeper in the skin. The stratum corneum is composed of flattened corneocytes set within a waxy, lipid matrix. This barrier is very effective at keeping water and nutrients inside the body and pathogens and chemicals out, making it the largest hurdle for most transdermal delivery technologies. The deeper junctional proteins further function to hold adjacent skin cells together and provide another barrier to transdermal drug delivery.
