Isosorbide Dicaprylate: A Modulator of Biochemical Pathways Linked to Water and Barrier Homeostasis

Water homeostasis in the epidermis is essential for the normal function of the skin and for normal stratum corneum (SC) hydration. The discovery of the existence of the water-transporting protein aquaglyceroporin-3 (AQP3) in the viable epidermis and the presence of tight junction structures at the junction between the stratum granulosum and SC have brought new insights into the mechanisms of skin hydration, water distribution and barrier function.

To alleviate skin dryness, humectants and occlusive substances are traditionally used, mostly in combination. A third, relatively recent approach is biomimetic, i.e., active ingredients with lamellar structure containing skin-identical lipids. The aim of this study was to determine whether a biomimetic cream could deliver superior moisturization to human volunteers, compared with a conventional moisturizer containing petrolatum and mineral oil.
