    substances that increase skin permeability for better compound absorption

    Chemical Penetration Enhancers (CPEs) are substances used to increase the permeability of the skin, allowing medications or other compounds to be absorbed more effectively. They work by temporarily altering the skin's barrier properties, making it easier for active ingredients to penetrate deeper layers. This is particularly useful in transdermal drug delivery systems, where medications are administered through the skin.
