Abstract
⺠We studied the effect of ethanol on the behavior of stratum corneum model membranes. ⺠Ethanol is found to influence the membrane in a dose dependent manner. ⺠Ethanol disrupts lipid packing and fluidizes the lipid matrix. ⺠Ethanol selectively extracts the free fatty acid component from the ensemble.
