    ability of substances to pass through skin layers

    Skin permeability refers to the ability of substances to pass through the skin barrier. This is important for the delivery of medications through topical treatments and for understanding how chemicals in the environment can affect the body. Factors like the condition of the skin, the size and solubility of the substance, and the presence of enhancers or barriers can influence how easily substances penetrate the skin.
