Progress in dermatological research during the last years has provided new insights into the mode of action of additives to dermatological baths. The present paper reviews the pharmacokinetics of dermatological bath therapy additives such as sulfur, salts and trace elements, tars and ichthyol, lipids, antiseptics, astringents, plant extracts, surface-active agents and proteins.
