title = "Depth resolved quantitative profiling of stratum corneum lipids and water content using short-wave infrared spectroscopy",
abstract = "We show the feasibility of short wave infrared spectroscopy combined with tape stripping as a simple and noninvasive method for the analysis of lipids and the degree of hydration as a function of depth in the stratum corneum. The spectroscopic method utilizes differential detection with three wavelengths 1720, 1750, and 1770 nm, corresponding to the lipid vibrational bands that lay {"}in between{"} the prominent water absorption bands. The results are compared with other biophysical devices such as Corneometer and Sebumeter.",
