Study Summary
Up to 10 volunteers will be recruited to evaluate the microbial environment on their forearms. Following informed consent, bacterial swabs will be obtained at baseline from the forearms of all subjects. Their forearms will then be washed with one of the study cleansers. Subjects will then have their forearms swabbed for bacteria at the following time points: 10 minutes, 6 hours, and 24 hours after the wash. DNA will be extracted from all swabs and bacterial diversity evaluated by 16S pyrosequencing.
