Original Note:
The skin's primary function is to protect the body from external substances, rather than absorb them. While it is true that some substances can be absorbed through the skin, the skin's natural barrier function is designed to prevent the entry of most substances. https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20240306-what-can-you-absorb-through-your-skin https://blissoma.com/skin-absorption-how-much-does-skin-absorb-into-skin-chemicals-and-cosmetics https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/biochemistry-genetics-and-molecular-biology/skin-absorption https://www.hse.gov.uk/skin/professional/causes/structure.htm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absorption_%28skin%29
