In vitro permeation characterization of repellent picaridin and sunscreen oxybenzone
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Picaridin and oxybenzone are two active ingredients found in repellent and sunscreen preparations, respectively. We performed a series of in vitro diffusion studies to evaluate the transmembrane permeation of picaridin and oxybenzone across human epidermis and poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) membrane. Permeation of picaridin (PCR) and oxybenzone (OBZ) across human epidermis was suppressed when both active ingredients were used concurrently; increasing concentration of the test compounds further reduced the permeation percentage of picaridin and oxybenzone. While permeation characteristics were correlative between human epidermis and PDMS membrane, permeability of PDMS membrane was significantly larger than that of human epidermis. The findings were different from concurrent use of repellent DEET and sunscreen oxybenzone in which a synergistic permeation enhancement was observed. Further comparative studies are therefore needed to understand permeation mechanisms and interactions between picaridin and oxybenzone.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
