Artificial Sebum (ไขผิวหนังเทียม)
Skin comes into contact with exogenous materials both intentionally and unintentionally. These materials will interact with skin depending on the composition and properties of the skin surface film liquids. These surface liquids are mainly made up of eccrine sweat and sebum. Sebum is an oily secretion produced by sebaceous glands, which are tiny ducts adjacent to hair follicles. Sebum is secreted into the follicle, from which it spreads over the hair and skin. The main role of sebum is to waterproof the skin and hair.
Pickering Laboratories Inc. is now offering artificial sebum according to D4265-14 in 25 g quantities for product testing. We also sell artificial eccrine perspiration and a variety of industry-specific perspiration formulations. All formulations are available with an optional stabilizing preservative or at a custom pH to fit your specific needs.
