Detailed Description
There are 106 healthy volunteers in this study. Upper left arm is divided into 2 parts (2x2 cm) which are A and B area. Upper right arm is divided into 2 parts (2x2 cm) which are C and D area. Four area (A, B, C, and D) are randomized to receive cream containing 2.5% sericin and 2%turmeric, cream containing 5%sericin and 2%turmeric, cream containing 10%sericin and 2%turmeric, and cream base (Control group). Samples are applied 2 times/day for 6 days (Induction phase). Then, the volunteers will stop applying samples for 7 to 10 days (Free period). After that, Samples are applied 2 times/day for 3 days (Challenge phase). Erythema, melanin, humidity, transepidermal water loss, skin adverse reaction, and satisfaction are evaluated.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Erythema index [19 days]
Measure by Cutometer. It represents inflammation. The value present in scale of erythema index (0 to 1000) (high value mean a worse outcome).
- Melanin index [19 days]
Measure by Cutometer. It represents post-inflammatory reaction. The value present in scale of melanin index (0 to 1000) (high value mean a worse outcome).
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Humidity index [19 days]
Measure by Cutometer. It represents skin humidity. The value present in scale of humidity index (0 to 1000) (high value mean a better outcome).
- Transepidermal water loss index [19 days]
Measure by Cutometer. It represents skin water loss. The value present in scale of transepidermal water loss index (0 to 1000) (high value mean a worse outcome).
- Skin reaction [19 days]
Found or not found
- Satisfaction of the volunteers [19 days]
Measure by visual analogue scale (1 to 10 score means low satisfaction to high satisfaction)
