Background

I investigated the key causes and mechanisms of skin sensitization, evaluated existing diagnostic methods, and proposed new strategies to reduce the risk for allergic reactions.

Results

69.2% of participants tested positive for allergic reactions to cosmetic ingredients

Synthetic fragrances

51.7%

Methylisothiazolinone

39.2%

More results

I used patch testing and molecular diagnostics based on pro-inflammatory markers (i.e., interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha).

Women aged 30-45 showed higher susceptibility to severe allergic responses.

The study confirmed the effectiveness of patch testing and molecular diagnostics in accurately detecting and predicting skin allergies.

Conclusion

Expanding professional knowledge in allergy diagnosis and prevention is essential for raising the standards of care and protecting the health of users.
