CO2 absorbed through skin during carbonic acid exposure is rapidly exhaled with no change in blood CO2 levels
CO2 absorbed through the skin is rapidly transported and exhaled, resulting in no measurable change in blood CO2 concentration, confirming safe systemic handling of transdermally absorbed CO2.
What this means for you
Your body handles the extra CO2 absorbed through your skin the same way it handles every breath — by simply exhaling it. This confirms that transdermal CO2 exposure doesn't disrupt your blood chemistry, so you get the circulatory and skin-level benefits without any systemic buildup.
