This volume details information about the ultra-structure and biochemistry of the epidermal barrier. It includes a review of current knowledge on epidermal water loss in health and disease, an explanation of the instruments used for measuring water loss, and their safe testing.

The first volume offers comprehensive information about the technology of instruments and the art of applying them in experimental settings. For example, it contains:
- an overview of the ultrastructure and biochemistry of the epidermal barrier
- an explanation of the instruments for measuring transepidermal water loss and epidermal moisture
- guidelines for standardization of measurements and communication of results
- review of current knowledge on epidermal water and transepidermal water loss in health and disease
- instruction by experienced investigators about how to perform product testing with these instruments
