Reconstructed skin samples are routinely used for in
vitro safety and efficacy evaluation of cosmetic
ingredients. MT-NMR is well-suited as a non-destructive
technique for the quantification of the bound proton
fraction. In this work, an off-resonance MT-NMR sequence
was used to characterize dermis from reconstructed skin
samples. A linear relationship between the bound proton
fraction and the solid weight fraction was found with a
slope compatible with 0.2 g of bound water per g of
collagen, in fair agreement with the 4 water molecules
per tripeptide description of collagen hydration.
