contents People use various products containing chemical substances that can diffuse through the human skin barrier and reach deeper layers. Therefore, it is essential to understand the transport mechanisms of these chemicals. We developed computable skin meshes for different anatomical regions of young and old skin in two and three dimensions. Numerical methods were applied to simulate the permeation of 50 chemicals. Diffusion coefficients, partition coefficients, and molecular weights were key factors that influenced diffusion and absorption. These findings provide insights into permeation pathways that can support the development and optimization of pharmaceutical formulations.
