| Abstract |
A survey of 90 skin cleansers in Denmark was made to determine the active cleansing substances. The cleansers were surfactants, abrasives, organic solvents, reducing agents and skin disinfectants. For each group the functions, risks, and specific uses are given. Auxiliary substances (perfumes, preservatives, dyes) are described. Surfactants were preferred, followed by abrasives and solvents. Reducing agents should be used only to remove discoloration and disinfectants should not ordinarily be used at all. Several kinds of cleanser should be available at the workplace. |
