Sebum Production Testers

SEBUTAPE® Adhesive Patches

SEBUTAPE® Skin Indicators
SEBUTAPE® Label Style Indicators

SEBUTAPE® Adhesive Patches detect sebum (oil) production without the use of any solvents, powders, or chemicals. The simplicity of the adhesive patch method is a result of the unique combination of an adhesive and micro-porous film. The film acts as a passive collector of sebum. The gradual displacement of air in the pores of the micro-porous film changes its appearance. The sebum filled pores in the film are no longer capable of scattering light, so they appear transparent.

The pores are designed so that the lateral spread of sebum in the film is minimized. This results in sharp boundaries indicating the location of the active oil glands. The size of the transparent area is a measure of the amount of sebum collected. Patches are placed on a dark background storage card for evaluation by eye or computer image technologies.

Sebutape detects oily skin.

APPLICATIONS

Research
Designed as a research tool for assessing sebum output and distribution of active sebaceous glands. The "feedback" from the skin about the natural sebum output is not affected by sweating or global subjective impressions.

Safety
Skin contacted with a medical grade, acrylic adhesive polymer film.
