Potential immune reactions associated with exposure to ingredients of Ukrainian-made contact hygiene products

Abstract

The aim of this study was to theoretically assess potential immune reactions associated with exposure to wet wipes and wet toilet paper of Ukrainian production, based on the analysis of their ingredient composition. According to the results of the analysis of literary sources, the most likely, but not frequent, reaction of the immune system to individual ingredients of wet wipes and wet toilet paper is allergic contact dermatitis. Children and people with damaged skin are especially sensitive. Given the presence of these compounds in the composition of the studied hygiene products, it is possible to assume their potential contribution to the development of allergic reactions among the population of Ukraine.
