intact human skin actively absorbs oxygen gas at a measurable, consistent rate
Transcutaneous oxygen flux (tcJO2) at normal atmospheric PO2 on humidified skin was measured at 0.529 ± 0.265 ml O2 m⁻² min⁻¹, confirming that gases are actively absorbed through intact human skin.
What this means for you
Your skin isn't just a barrier — it can take in gases directly from the environment. This confirms that oxygen-based wellness approaches applied to the skin's surface have a real physiological pathway into the body, not just a surface-level effect.
