Introduction
The skin barrier is a fundamental component of human skin biology. The outer epidermal layers contribute to the regulation of transepidermal water loss and provide a physical and biochemical interface between the body and its environment. Research into barrier structure and function is therefore relevant to dermatological conditions, topical product development, environmental exposure assessment, and strategies intended to support skin integrity. [1]
Research Profile
Karishma Desai is affiliated with Jai Research Foundation in India. The supplied Scopus information identifies Author ID 57225885191 and records four documents, one citation, and an h-index of 1. The stated subject area is skin barrier, placing the profile within a research domain directly connected with cutaneous biology and skincare science. [2]
Research Contributions
Research associated with skin barrier science contributes to understanding how the epidermis maintains controlled permeability while protecting underlying tissues. The barrier is influenced by structural organization, intercellular lipids, hydration, environmental exposure, and biological signaling. Scientific investigation of these processes can inform the development and assessment of dermatological and cosmetic approaches intended to maintain skin condition. [3]
Publications
The supplied profile information records four documents associated with Scopus Author ID 57225885191. Specific publication titles, journals, publication years, author lists, and DOI identifiers were not supplied in the input data; consequently, individual publications are not reproduced here to avoid attributing unsupported bibliographic details to the researcher. [2]
Research Impact
The supplied bibliometric record reports one citation and an h-index of 1 across four documents. These indicators provide a limited quantitative view of citation activity. Citation counts can vary according to publication age, disciplinary citation practices, indexing coverage, and the time at which a profile is evaluated. [1]
Award Suitability
The supplied profile information identifies skin barrier as the subject area associated with Karishma Desai and documents an affiliation with Jai Research Foundation. Skin barrier science is directly relevant to the scope of skincare innovation because barrier integrity is a core aspect of cutaneous biology and influences hydration, permeability, environmental protection, and responses to topical exposure. [1]
Conclusion
Karishma Desai is associated with Jai Research Foundation, India, and the supplied academic profile identifies skin barrier as the relevant subject area. The profile records four Scopus-indexed documents, one citation, and an h-index of 1. Skin barrier research occupies an important position within dermatological and skincare science because epidermal barrier function contributes to cutaneous protection, permeability regulation, and skin homeostasis.
