[Effect of soap and detergents on the restitution of acidity and lipids of the skin surface].
A comparative evaluation of the effects of soaps and detergents on pH behaviour and lipids level on the skin surface and duration of their restitution was carried out. The studies were conducted in two groups. The first group of 32 persons used 1% solution of "BHP" soap, whereas the other one, composed of 31 persons, 0,5% solution of detergentpowder "POLLENA". PH measurements of skin were performed using pH--meter of Radelkis firm with a combined glass and calomel electrode. Lipids on the skin surface were determined by the Hodgson--Jones and Wheatly's gravimetric method. The evaluation of soap and detergent's effects on skin was based on the mean output and direct pH values of the skin surface, accidental and residual level of lipids, and comparison of the duration of these parameters restitution. The soap was found to alkalyse stronger than the detergent, and duration of pH restitution is longer after using the soap, whereas the detergent degreases the skin more intensively than the soap. Also restitution of lipid's jacket is slower after using the detergent.
