ABSTRACT
Contact dermatitis (CD) including irritant contact dermatitis (ICD) and allergic
contact dermatitis (ACD) is a major occupational disease, with a significant
medical, economical, and social impact. To avoid these annoying substances
(irritants and allergens) may not be practicable for some occupational require-
ments. Therefore, barrier creams (BC) are utilized in the prevention of CD.
