Not Just for Women

Fact: A man’s skin is more damaged than a woman’s. As a group, men do not care for their skin on a daily basis which means their skin is rougher, has more wrinkles and ages faster. Razor burn, sunburn, windburn – most men’s skin is attacked hard every day with little relief. Skincerity is perfect for men. Just roll it on at night and wash it off in the morning. Even a man can do this!

Original Use of Skincerity!
Skincerity was created to treat skin cancer recovery care. Partially funded by the federal government, the company had a desire to create a new product in the form of a barrier or mask to be applied at cancer sites in order to hold medicinal ointments and lotions in place. Not only would it help facilitate deep treatment of the effected area, it would also needed to be antiseptic in order to maintain the integrity of the medicinal products used beneath. Skincerity achieved both these aims and in addition to this, as an added value, it also improved skin texture and health in the treated areas.

A note on Acetone

When it comes to commerical chemicals acetone is unusual.  That is because it acetone is a normal by-product of fatty acid metabolism. In fact, it is naturally present throughout the human body at measurable levels. Physiological concentrations increase as energy requirements increase (e.g., during exercise, dieting or pregnancy).

Acetone occurs naturally in a wide variety of foods such as onions, grapes, cauliflower, tomatoes, milk, cheese, beans, and peas (SIDS, 1999). The levels of acetone in the milk of healthy cows range from 0 to 0.2 millimoles (0 to 11.6 mg/l). Thus, all people have acetone exposure via natural sources in the diet.

Acetone is used in a variety of general medical applications and is also listed as a component in food additives and food packaging.

• EPA EPCRA Delisting (1995). EPA removed acetone from the list of “toxic chemicals” maintained under Section 313 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act (EPCRA). In making that decision, EPA conducted an extensive review of the available toxicity data on acetone and found that acetone “exhibits acute toxicity only at levels that greatly exceed releases and resultant exposures,” and further that acetone “exhibits low toxicity in chronicstudies.”
• Genotoxicity. Acetone has been tested in more than two dozen in vitro and in vivo assays. These studies indicate that acetone is not genotoxic.
• Carcinogenicity. EPA in 1995 concluded, “There is currently no evidence to suggest a concern for carcinogenicity.”(EPCRA Review, described in Section 3.3). NTP scientists have recommended against chronic toxicity/carcinogenicity testing of acetone because “the prechronic studies only demonstrated a very mild toxic response at very high doses in rodents.”
• Neurotoxicity and Developmental Neurotoxicity. The neurotoxic potential of both acetone and isopropanol, the metabolic precursor of acetone, have been extensively studied. These studies demonstrate that although exposure to high doses of acetone may cause transient central nervous system effects, acetone is not a neurotoxicant. A guideline developmental neurotoxicity study has been conducted with isopropanol, and no developmental neurotoxic effects were identified, even at the highest dose tested. (SIAR, pp. 1, 25, 31).
• Environmental. When the EPA exempted acetone from regulation as a volatile organic compound (VOC) in 1995, EPA stated that this exemption would “contribute to the achievement of several important environmental goals and would support EPA’s pollution prevention efforts.” 60 Fed. Reg. 31,634 (June 16, 1995). 60 Fed. Reg. 31,634 (June 16, 1995). EPA noted that acetone could be used “as a substitute for several compounds that are listed as hazardous air pollutants (HAP) under section 112 of the [Clean Air] Act.

Skin Drying and Irritation
Applying straight acetone to skin is typically associated with removal of skin lipids which results in dryness and irritation. Dryness and irritation have not been observed with Skincerity. Using a standard testing protocol for Skin Irritation and Sensitization Testing of Generic Transdermal Drug Products, 1999, from the Food and DrugAdministration, Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER), Skincerity was found to be non-irritating to the skin of human subjects. Skincerity is non-irritating because of the presence of the polymers that comprise the coating. Rather than drying out the skin like acetone, the coating provides a physical barrier to water loss, so that more water is retained in the outermost layer of the skin.

Summary
The larger issue is with chronic occupational exposure to solvents -- not any personal use of acetone. Potential health issues associated with acetone are related to exposure at extremely high levels over long periods of time.
