Session 2: Exposome impact on Skin & Hair
Deep skin hydration
Understanding true skin hydration requires more than surface-level measurements. Traditional methods primarily assess stratum corneum moisture, which can be heavily influenced by temporary occlusion or product residue. Delfin MoistureMeter technology, based on Tissue Dielectric Constant (TDC) measurement, enables objective assessment of skin water content at controlled depths beneath the surface. This depth-controlled measurement capability is unique to Delfin and allows researchers to evaluate hydration beyond the superficial layer. By assessing deeper tissue water, it becomes possible to distinguish short-term cosmetic effects from meaningful physiological changes. During this presentation, we will demonstrate what makes Delfin technology unique - its deeper measurement depth capability - and present a research case showing how MoistureMeter technology provides insights that cannot be achieved with surface-only techniques.
