“…Theoretically, however, a true sensitization to one of the many chemical substances added to soap might occur, such as anti-oxidants, "builders," antiseptics, abrasives, and perfumes. Klauder and Gross (1951) found no evidence of sensitization in 75 cases of dermatitis of the hand attributed to the use of soaps and detergents. Jambor (1955) investigated the role of soaps and detergents as primary irritants, and found that the degree of skin damage due to hydration was proportional to the duration of skin alkalinity after immersion.…”

“…Although one might expect the irritative effect of soaps to be considerably more frequent amongst women than men, there is very little sex difference in incidence, although women under 50 years of age are the most affected. Klauder and Gross (1951), reporting on 1,412 cases of cutaneous disease in patients with compensation claims, attributed the dermatitis to the method of hand cleansing in 10.7 per cent of cases and incriminated excessive hand washing with soap in 17 cases. The pH of the hands of normal persons varies between 4.4 and 6.5, being even lower when the hands are bathed with sweat.…”

“…Bernstein and Hermann (1942) found that the usual washing with ordinary soap raised the pH by 1 to 1-5 units and that it took three and a half hours for the normal pH to be restored. Klauder and Gross (1951) found that after ordinary washing the pH was restored to normal in three-quarters to two and a half hours. When excessive washing of the skin (bakers, food handlers, etc.)…”

“…(l 940) described a series of 239 cases of soap dermatitis in housewives. Klauder and Gross (1951) stated that 13 % of their cases of industrial dermatitis were due to soap and water. The exact cause of this effect is not known (Bettley and Donoghue, 1960), but it often arises when they are used in concentrations many times greater than those recommended.The concentration of free alkali was believed to be the most important factor but Klauder and Gross found that alkali sensitivity was an attribute of the eczematous skin and might not be the expression of a selective dysfunction of the skin since the alkali neutralization and sensitivity tests of Burckhardt were positive in patients with diffuse eczem.a unrelated to alkah exposure.…”
