Long-term studies contributed to the formation of a separate line of dermatology - corneobiology. Studies of the composition and functions of the corneous layer defined the key directions in the therapy of dermatoses accompanied by an epidermal barrier failure. Corneal protectors formed on the basis of the dermal and membrane structure meet the key principles of corneotherapy while absence of emulsifying agents provides for the physiologic restoration of the epidermal barrier without its additional damage in the course of lipid delivery.
