Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimarySkin Barrier Strengthening Effect by Measurement of Trans Epidermal Water Loss (TEWL) Before and After Induction of Skin Irritationday 29 prior to irritant application and day 31 following application
The change in TEWL from treated and untreated skin before and after induction of skin irritation with SLS. SLS increases TEWL. An effective treatment protects skin from irritation and less TEWL increase is anticipated compared to untreated skin
PrimarySkin Barrier Strengthening Effect by Measurement of Skin Redness Before and After Induction of Skin Irritation as Assessed by the Erythema Index (Change From Day 29 to Day 31)The 2D Skin Imaging was performed on day 15, day 29 and on day 31. Only day 29 and 31 was included in the statistical analysis
Skin redness measurement by Objective Erythema (2D Skin Imaging) on treated and untreated skin before (day 29) and after (day 31) induction of skin irritation with SLS. Captured 2D images are analysed to determine the skin erythema index (degree of redness, arbitrary numerical value), where a higher value denotes a stronger reaction/more redness. An effective treatment is anticipated to protect the skin from irritation, i.e. a weaker reaction from SLS/less redness compared to the untreated skin. Data is presented as change from day 29 to day 31
PrimarySkin Barrier Strengthening Effect by Measurement of Skin Redness Before and After Induction of Skin Irritation as Assessed by Mexameter (Change From Day 29 to Day 31)Measured on day 29 and 31
Objective skin redness measurement by Mexameter on treated and untreated skin before (day 29) and after (day 31) induction of skin irritation with SLS. Skin redness is measured using a C\&K Mexameter probe to quantify SLS-induced skin irritation (arbitrary numerical scale). An effective treatment is anticipated to protect the skin from irritation, i.e. a weaker reaction from SLS/less redness compared to the untreated skin. Data is presented as change from day 29 to day 31
PrimarySkin Barrier Strengthening Effect by Measurement of Skin Redness Before Induction of Skin Irritation as Assessed by Visual ScoringSkin redness was scored on day 29
Skin redness by visual scoring on treated and untreated skin before induction of skin irritation with SLS. Skin redness was evaluated on a 4-point visual scale from 0 to 3, where 0 indicates no redness/reaction and 3 indicates strong erythema.
PrimarySkin Barrier Strengthening Effect by Measurement of Skin Redness After Induction of Skin Irritation as Assessed by Visual ScoringSkin redness was scored on day 31
Skin redness by visual scoring on treated and untreated skin after induction of skin irritation with SLS. Skin redness was evaluated on a 4-point visual scale from 0 to 3, where 0 indicates no redness/reaction and 3 indicates strong erythema.

TypeOutcomeTime framePopulationUnitsMeasured as
PRIMARYSkin Barrier Strengthening Effect by Measurement of Trans Epidermal Water Loss (TEWL) Before and After Induction of Skin Irritationday 29 prior to irritant application and day 31 following application
Each participant used three creams on their volar forearms and one skin area was left untreated. A skin irritant was applied on each treatment area (n=4) after end of cream treatment period. The irritant was left on the skin for 24h and the Trans Epidermal Water Loss (TEWL) was measured after another 24h and compared to TEWL measured after treatment but before application of irritant

Only day 29 and 31 was included in the statistical analysis
In some participants it was not possible to analyze all images, therefore the Overall Number of Participants Analyzed in this outcome measure differs compared to the total number of participants included in the study
