Description: SUBSTRATE COMPOSITION AND METHOD OF USE FOR SEQUESTRATION OF SKIN IRRITANTS Cross-Relation To Prior Applications The present application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application Nos. 60/114,497 and 60/1 14,496 both filed on December 31, 1998. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The stratum corneum is the superficial cornified layer of the skin that provides a barrier to water evaporation and, as such, is essential for terrestrial life. In addition to preventing water loss, the stratum corneum also reduces the permeation of undesirable molecules from the external environment. The stratum corneum consists of dead cells (comeocytes) embedded in a lipid-rich (fatty-acid, ceramide, cholesterol) matrix. Both the comeocytes and the intracelluar lipids are derived from epidermal keratinocytes. This structure of comeocytes embedded in lipids have given rise to a brick (comeocytes) and mortar (lipids) model of stratum comeum structure and function. It is thought that much of the barrier properties of the skin can be attributed to this structure. Substances deposited on the skin must traverse this structure through a tortuous path to gain access the underlying viable layers of the skin. Substances that are irritating to the skin often initiate an elaborate cascade of immunological events once they contact viable skin cells. These events ultimately lead to skin inflammation. In particular, nasolabial skin is more vulnerable to skin irritation than many other sites on the body. This vulnerability is due to the decreased barrier function of nasolabial skin relative to other body sites. The rate of water loss through the skin can be measured and is indicative of the barrier properties of the skin 12 . A low level of water loss through the skin is normal. Movement of water through the skin is often referred to as Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL) and is typically expressed as g∞M^∞hr 1 . TEWL readings are routinely used to determine the barrier properties of a skin site at any given point in time 13 . Normally, significant differences in TEWL values can be found between disparate anatomical sites 14 . Studies have shown that the barrier properties of facial skin are significantly lower than other sites on the body. Indeed, differences in barrier properties between various sites on the face itself have been observed 14 ' 15 . Indeed, the TEWL values obtained for nasolabial skin were among the highest values obtained on the face. With few exceptions, it appears that the face, and more specifically, nasolabial skin, has the lowest barrier properties of any skin site on the human body. The barrier function of the skin with regard to moisture barrier, as measured by TEWL, often correlates with the skin's ability to exclude exogenous substances as well 14 ' 16 . As the barrier to water decreases (increasing TEWL value) exogenously applied molecules are often more likely to penetrate to the viable layers of the skin 12 . This suggests that nasolabial skin may be more permeable to topically applied irritants and therefore more susceptible to inflammation relative to other skin sites. Skin barrier function can be compromised by a variety of insults. Examples of treatments known to diminish skin barrier function include, but are not limited to, physical treatments (abrasion, tape stripping, ultrasonics, electrical fields), enzymes, solvents, surfactants, and elevated ambient humidity 17 ' 18 ' 19 ' 20 ' 21 ' 22 - 23 . Repeated wiping of nasolabial skin with facial tissue can diminish skin barrier function due to abrasion. Insults that diminish skin barrier function can predispose skin to inflammatory events by the enhanced uptake of irritants through the stratum comeum. Bodily fluids may contain skin irritants. For example, the nasal secretions of individuals experiencing colds or allergies contain a myriad of substances that can potentially irritate nasolabial skin. These substances include, but are not limited to, an array of biologically active components including cytokines, eicosanoids, enzymes, and various toxins. For example, the cytokines interleukin-l β (IL-lβ) and interleukin-8 (IL-8) are present in high concentrations in nasal secretions 1 - 2 ' 3 . Likewise, the eicosanoids leukotriene B4 (LTB4) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) are also present at high concentrations in nasal secretions 4 ' 5 ' 6 ' 7 - 8 . Additionally, the enzymes kinase, tryptase, phospholipase, and glycosydase are present in nasal secretions. Finally, nasal secretions can contain superantigens produced by the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus including staphylococcal enterotoxins A (SEA), B (SEB), and Toxic Shock Syndrome Toxin- 1 (TSST-1) as well as other bacterial by-products. Furthermore, the cutaneous responses to topically applied cytokines, eicosanoids, enzymes, and superantigens have also been described 9 ' 10 - 11 . Enzymes commonly found in other biological fluids, particularly proteases and lipases in feces, are known to damage skin barrier function and cause skin inflammation. For example, prolonged exposure of the skin to fecal proteases and lipases is thought to be a major cause of skin damage that leads to diaper dermatitis in infants. The care of skin in individuals with ostomies is difficult due to the frequent contact of digestive enzymes with skin surrounding the ostomy. These enzymes can degrade skin proteins and lipids and cause irritation of the skin. Bodily fluid enzymes can also cause or exacerbate psoriasis. Therefore, bodily secretions contain a variety of irritants that can initiate skin inflammation. In addition, physical contact with other animals and plants can confer skin irritants to an individual, such as from poison ivy. Furthermore, other causitc inanimate materials, such as acidic chemicals, can cause skin irritation. What is needed in the art today are novel mechanisms for preventing or mitigating skin inflammation due to the exceedingly complex mixture of irritants in bodily secretions and the environment. A number of approaches are known for protecting the skin against the action of skin irritants. Examples include protective apparel, skin protectant formulations, and anti- inflammatory compositions. Barrier compositions can provide demonstrable clinical benefits. However, it is known that while many compositions can retard the penetration of one type of irritant it may not afford a similar level of protection against others 24 ' 25 . This evidence suggests that many currently available skin protectant formulations are unable to exclude a wide range of irritants that differ based on hydrophobicity, size, and/or chemical composition. Consequently, many skin protectant formulations may not provide adequate protection against a complex mixture of skin irritants. Another method of addressing skin irritation due to contact with skin irritants is the use of anti-inflammatory compounds. The topical use of anti-inflammatory compounds does not protect the skin from coming in contact with an irritant. Instead, for many skin irritants, damage to the skin still occurs but the inflammatory response is mitigated by the anti- inflammatory substance. Therefore, the effect of anti-inflammatory compounds is exerted by influencing the biology of viable skin cells rather than by preventing the skin damage that elicits the inflammatory event in the first place. PCT publication WO 97/38735 teaches the use of a singular sequestrant (organophilic clays; i.e. clays modified with hydrophobic substances), such as quarternium- 18 bentonite, to absorb and deactivate fecal proteolytic enzymes to prevent diaper rash of the skin. A diaper fabric incorporating the organophilic clay dispersed in a super absorbent polymer is suggested, as well as other pharmaceutically suitable vehicles for the organophilic clay, such as lotions, emulsions, creams, gels, and aqueous vehicles. The reference teaches that compounds having C-8 and longer hydrocarbon chains should be excluded from the composition. The protective composition is specifically intended to act as a barrier to prevent fecal enzymes from contacting the skin. Further, lotions and aerosols containing organophilic clay, ion exchanged with a quaternary ammonium compound, are used to block and absorb plant allergens in U.S. Patent Nos. 5,017,361 and 5,702,709. Additionally, art exists to describe the inclusion of non- modified clays into tissue products for purposes unrelated to skin health (U.S. Patent No. 5,61 1,890 and 5,830,317). Skin protectants that augment skin barrier properties to thwart the penetration of exogenous irritants can have skin health benefits. Various technological approaches to deliver these benefits are known to those skilled in the art. It is the object of this invention to provide novel compositions and methods necessary to protect skin from the irritants present in bodily secretions and the environment. What is needed in the art are novel mechanisms to promote general skin health. What is needed in the art are novel mechanisms to promote nasolabial skin health. What is needed in the art are novel mechanisms to mitigate or prevent nasolabial skin irritation and inflammation due to the topical deposition of skin irritants present in nasal secretions. Novel approaches are needed as many of the skin irritants present in nasal secretions are unique to this biological fluid. Thus, the present invention provides that skin inflammation can be caused by the penetration of inflammatory agents present in bodily secretions and the environment through the stratum comeum and into the underlying viable layers of the skin. For example, biologically active cytokines, eicosanoids, enzymes, and superantigens can permeate through the stratum comeum to the viable layers of the skin and elicit undesirable biological effects including skin inflammation. Therefore, the invention described herein provides for novel compositions and methods to help prevent undesirable skin symptoms caused by the deposition of nasal secretions on skin. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides compositions and methods to prevent the penetration of skin irritants through the stratum comeum into the viable layers of the skin. In particular, the present invention provides compositions and methods of protecting against nasal secretion mediated skin inflammation. Thus, the present invention provides compositions and methods of promoting improved skin health. One embodiment of the present invention is directed to a skin irritant sequestering composition comprising a substrate containing a sequestering agent(s) with an affinity for skin irritants. One embodiment of the invention provides for a substrate containing a hydrophobic sequestering agent(s) for hydrophobic skin irritants. Another embodiment of the invention provides for a substrate containing a hydrophilic sequestering agent(s) for hydrophilic skin irritants. In an alternate embodiment, the invention is directed toward a skin irritant sequestering composition comprising a substrate containing thereon a sequestering agent(s) with an affinity for hydrophobic skin irritants present in nasal secretions and (a) sequestering agent(s) with an affinity for hydrophilic irritants present in nasal secretions. In another embodiment, the hydrophilic and hydrophobic skin irritant sequestering agents are isolated from each other in discrete regions of the substrate. In a further embodiment, the discrete regions of the substrate are defined by a pattern configuration wherein the hydrophilic and hydrophobic sequestering agents are each relegated to separate regions of the pattern on the substrate. In a further embodiment, the substrate is multi-layered and the discrete regions of the substrate are defined by the hydrophilic and hydrophobic sequestering agents each being present on separate plies and/or layers of a given ply of the substrate. In a further embodiment, the substrate is composed of multiple distinct fibers and the discrete regions of the substrate can be defined by the hydrophilic and hydrophobic sequestering agents each being present on separate fibers of the substrate. These fibers may be coated or filled with the sequestering agent material. The aforementioned fibers may comprise all or a fraction of the total fibers used to make the substrate. The substrate used in the present invention can be prepared from a variety of materials. Suitable materials comprise any matter that does not hinder the sequestering agents' affinity for binding skin irritants. One example of a suitable substrate is a tissue prepared from plant fibers. Other examples include, but are not limited to, woven and nonwoven webs, spunbonded fabric, meltdown fabric, knit fabric, wet-laid fabric, scrims, synthetic fibers, natural fibers and combinations thereof. It is to be understood that these suitable substrates are not mutually exclusive and can be used in combination. In one embodiment, to be effective, sequestering agents must bind skin irritants either covalently or non-covalently. Examples of skin irritants present in nasal secretions include, but are not limited to, cytokines (such as interleukin-loc, IL-1_ and IL-8), eicosanoids (such as PGE2 and LTB4), and superantigens (such as those produced by the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus including staphylococcal enterotoxins A, B, and Toxic shock syndrome toxin- 1). Skin irritants are also present in feces, such as trypsin and elastase. The examples of skin irritants listed above are not intended to represent an exhaustive list, rather, they are incorporated to aid in illustrating the utility of the invention. Certain embodiments of the present invention include substrates comprising both hydrophilic and hydrophobic sequestering agents having an affinity for binding the irritants listed above. The sequestering agents could be any material(s) capable of binding skin irritants present in bodily fluids such as nasal secretions. Examples of suitable sequestering agents include, but are not limited to, modified and non-modified clay, modified and non-modified silica, modified and non-modified titanium dioxide, and modified and non-modified refractory metal oxides. The invention provides that hydrophilic skin irritants, such as cytokines, bind to hydrophilic sequestering agents, such as non-modified clay for example. Likewise, the invention provides that those hydrophobic skin irritants, such as eicosanoids, bind to hydrophobic sequestering agents, such as modified clay for example. Along with providing a novel skin irritant sequestering composition, the present invention further provides methods of sequestering inflammatory irritants on the outermost layers of the stratum comeum. Deposition of sequestrants on the outer layer of the skin will prevent skin irritants from penetrating into the underlying viable layers of the skin, thus providing a skin health benefit. In one embodiment, this is accomplished by administering to the individual's skin an effective amount of sequestering agent(s) capable of binding skin irritants present in nasal secretions. Sequestering agents can be imparted to the skin's surface via a substrate and then removed by normal desquamatory events (normal sloughing of the outermost layer of the skin) and/or personal hygiene. The transfer of sequestering agents from the substrate to the skin can be accomplished via any number of suitable vehicles including, but not limited to, anhydrous formulations, gels, pastes, creams, powders, lotions, emulsions, or aqueous formulations or any combination thereof. Alternatively, sequestering agents may remain bound to a skin irritant composition to minimize their interaction with the skin. In this case, the irritants are removed from the skin by binding to one or more sequestrants present on a substrate. It is understood that these two distinct modes of action (binding irritants to sequestrants deposited on the skin's surface or binding irritants to sequestrants present on a substrate and therefore removing the irritants from the skin's surface to a substrate) are not mutually exclusive and can be combined.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides compositions and methods of sequestering inflammatory agents to improve skin health. Binding skin irritants deposited on the surface of the skin (the stratum comeum) thwarts irritant penetration to underlying skin layers to prevent skin irritation. Sequestrants with bound skin irritants are removed from the skin through the normal process of desquamation and/or personal hygiene. This benefit may also be realized by using a skin irritant sequestering composition having the sequestering agent bound thereto. The sequestering agent is in some embodiments of sufficient size or charge to prevent the penetration of skin irritants into the viable skin layers due to steric hindrance and/or charge exclusion. The present invention is directed to a skin irritant sequestering composition and method of use, comprising a substrate containing skin irritant sequestering agents and to a method of using the skin irritant sequestering composition to sequester skin irritants. In some embodiments, the skin irritants are present in nasal secretion, bodily waste, or the external environment. The skin irritant sequestering composition contains a substrate and both hydrophilic and hydrophobic skin irritant sequestering agents. In one embodiment, the hydrophilic and hydrophobic sequestering agents are spatially isolated from each other by being present in different regions of the skin irritant sequestering composition. This spatial isolation by region can be accomplished in many different ways. In one embodiment of the present invention, the hydrophilic and hydrophobic sequestering agents are separated by region wherein the hydrophilic and hydrophobic sequestering agents are physically located in discrete areas of the substrate. For example, the hydrophilic agent and hydrophobic agent could each be relegated to one half of the substrate or an increasingly complex pattern of distinct regions, e.g. quilted, dots or grid. When the substrate is a tissue, the well-known manufacturing technique of printing or slot application can be used to impart the regions of hydrophobic and/or hydrophilic sequestering agents to a facial tissue in the present invention. It is understood that there may be some overlap between hydrophobic and hydrophilic sequestering agent regions, however at least some regions containing only one or the other type of sequestering agents are contemplated in this embodiment. When the substrate is multi-layered the hydrophilic and hydrophobic sequestering agents are separated by region wherein each is located on separate layers or surfaces of the substrate. In a further embodiment, the hydrophilic and hydrophobic sequestering agents are separated by region, wherein a region is defined by the hydrophilic and hydrophobic sequestering agents being located on separate fibers within the substrate. One example of a suitable substrate is a tissue prepared from plant fibers. As used herein, the term "sequestering agent" or "sequesterant" means a material with an affinity for an irritant (biological or otherwise) such that the irritant covalently or non- covalently binds to the sequestrant when in the proximity of the sequestrant. In certain embodiments, the affinity for the irritant is high, rapid, and irreversible. Irritant interaction with the sequestrant should preclude or significantly diminish the ability of a target irritant to penetrate the stratum comeum to achieve access to the underlying viable layers of the skin. As used herein, the term "sequestration" means the binding of an irritant to a sequestrant. Sequestration can be achieved using many well-known affinity ligand systems, such as adsorbent clays, calcium carbonate, talc, silica, titanium dioxide (Tiθ2), hydroxyappetite, alumina, aluminum silcate surfactants, calcium silicate, activated carbon, pearl starch, calcium sulfate, antibodies, ion-exchange materials, cyclodextrins, lectins, Lewis acid/base materials, activated charcoal, glass microspheres, diatomaceous earth reactions, derivatives and/or combinations of the above. Sequestrering agents can be many well-known affinity ligand systems, such as adsorbent clays, calcium carbonate, talc silica, titanium dioxide (Tiθ2), hydroxyappetite, alumina, aluminum silcate surfactants, calcium silicate, activated carbon, pearl starch, calcium sulfate, antibodies, ion-exchange materials, cyclodextrins, lectins, Lewis acid/base materials, activated charcoal, glass microspheres, diatomaceous earth reactions, refractory metal oxides, and derivatives and/or combinations of the above, for example. In one embodiment, clay is used as the hydrophilic sequestering agent. Examples of suitable clays for use as hydrophilic sequestering agents include, but are not limited to, bentonite, montmorillonite, beidelite, hectorite, saponite and stevensite. Native, unmodified, hydrophilic sequestering agents (such as clays, silicas, and Tiθ2, for example) can be used for binding relatively charged proteinaceous irritants, such as fecal proteases. Sequestering agents, such as clays existing in their natural state, or that have not had their net charge significantly altered by chemical means from their native state are termed herein as "unmodified." An unmodified clay is charged and therefore hydrophilic. Unmodified clays, such as bentonite, are particularly useful for sequestering irritants such as proteinaceous, hydrophilic inflammatory agents like the cytokines (i.e.: IL-8). The invention provides that due to the presence of hydrophobic skin irritants, such as eicosanoids in nasal secretions, it is useful to modify certain sequesterants by increasing their hydrophobicity. Hydrophobic sequestering agents, such as clays that have had their net charge significantly altered by chemical means from their native state are termed herein as "modified." This hydrophobic modification of native sequestrants (such as clays, silicas, and Tiθ2, for example) is preferred for binding relatively hydrophobic inflammatory agents such as eicosanoids. For example, a modified sequestrant shown here to be useful for sequestering eicosanoids (PGE2 and LTB4) present in nasal secretions, is a bentonite modified with a quarternary ammonium compound. In certain embodiments, the invention provides that both hydrophilic and hydrophobic nasal secretion irritant sequestering agents are present on a facial tissue. The relative proportion of hydrophobic and hydrophilic skin irritants present in bodily fluids and the surrounding environment varies greatly from person to person. Although not wishing to be bound by theory, it is generally believed that hydrophilic skin irritants are present in a greater amount as measured by total irritant weight than are hydrophobic skin irritants. Accordingly, the relative proportion and location of hydrophobic and hydrophilic sequestering agents present on facial tissue may also vary. In certain embodiments, approximately 1 part hydrophobic sequestering agent to approximately 100 parts hydrophilic sequestering agent by weight, or approximately 1 part hydrophobic sequestering agent to approximately 20 parts hydrophilic sequestering agent by weight, or approximately 1 part hydrophobic sequestering agent to approximately 1 part hydrophilic sequestering agent by weight may be used. Likewise, hydrophobic sequestering agents may be present in a greater amount than hydrophilic sequestering agents. Therefore, in certain embodiments, approximately 1 part hydrophilic sequestering agent to approximately 100 parts hydrophobic sequestering agent by weight, or approximately 1 part hydrophilic sequestering agent to approximately 20 parts hydrophobic sequestering agent by weight may be used. As used herein, the term "skin irritant sequestering composition" means any material comprising a substrate and sequestering agent that is capable of being administered to the skin by directly contacting the skin. As used herein, the term "skin irritant" means any component that can inflame the skin by penetrating the stratum comeum of the skin and therefore reaching the viable underlying layers. Additionally, substances that degrade one or more components of the stratum comeum are also considered to be skin irritants for the purposes of the invention described herein. Examples of skin irritants present in nasal secretions include, but are not limited to, cytokines (such as interleukin- lot, IL-lβ and IL-8), eicosanoids (such as PGE2 and LTB4), enzymes (such as kinase, tryptase, phospholipase, and glycosidase), and superantigens (such as those produced by the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus including staphylococcal enterotoxins A, B, and Toxic shock syndrome toxin- 1). Other bodily fluid irritants include, but are not limited to, proteases, lipases, glycosidases, bile acids, endotoxins, and bacterial by-products. As used herein, the term "nasal skin" means the skin of the nose and area immediately surrounding the nose. As used herein, the term "nasolabial skin" is a broader term than nasal skin. It encompasses nasal skin as well as the area between the lips and distal portion ofthe nares. As used herein, the term "hydrophilic" describes a material that has an affinity for charged nitrogenous molecules that are cationic, anionic, or amphiphilic. Further, the term "hydrophilic sequestering agent" describes a sequestering agent that has a greater affinity for hydrophilic skin irritants than do hydrophobic sequestering agents and/or the substrate alone. Examples of irritants that can be bound by hydrophilic sequestering agents include, but are not limited to, proteinaceous skin irritants such as the cytokines, IL-8, interleukin- 1 α and interleukin- lβ. As used herein, the term "hydrophobic" describes a material that attracts lipid- derived molecules or molecules with significant regions of hydrophobicity. Further, the term "hydrophobic sequestering agent" describes a sequestering agent that has a greater affinity for hydrophobic skin irritants than do hydrophilic sequestering agents and/or substrates alone. Examples of hydrophobic skin irritants relevant to nasal secretions that can be bound by hydrophobic sequestering agents include, but are not limited to, lipid derived skin irritants such as the eicosanoids, LTB4 and PGE2. As used herin, the term "substrate" means any material suitable for carrying sequestering agents. Suitable substrates comprise any material that does not hinder the sequestering agents' affinity for binding nasal secretion skin irritants or cause skin irritation. Examples of suitable substrates include, but are not limited to, woven and non- woven webs, spunbonded fabric, meltblown fabric, knit fabric, wet-laid fabric, scrims, needle- punched webs, synthetic fibers and natural fibers. It is to be understood that these suitable substrates are not mutually exclusive and can be used in a combination. The choice of substrate fibers depends upon, for example, fiber cost and the desired properties. For example suitable fibrous materials may include, but are not limited to, synthetic fibers such as those derived from polyolefins, polyecters, polyamides, polyarcrylics, polyethyleak, polypropylene, polyvinyl, etc., alone or in combination with one another. Similarly, natural fibers such as cotton, linen, hemp, jute, wool, wood pulp, etc.; regenerated cellulosic fibers such as viscose rayon and cuprammonium rayon or modified cellulosic fibers, such as cellulose acetate may likewise be used. Blends of one or more of the above fibers may also be used if so desired. As used herein, the term "nonwoven fabric" refers to a fabric has a structure of individual fibers or filaments which are randomly and/or unidirectionally interlaid in a mat-like fashion. Nonwoven fabrics can be made from a variety of processes including, but not limited to, air-laid processes, wet-laid processes, hydroentangling processes, staple fiber carding and bonding, and solution spinning. Suitable nonwoven fabrics include, but are not limited to, spunbonded fabrics, metlblown fabrics, wet-laid fabrics and combinations thereof. As used herein, the term "spunbonded fabric" refers to a web of small diameter fibers and/or filaments which are formed by extruding a molten thermoplastic material, or coextruding more than one molten thermoplastic material, as filaments from a plurality of fine, usually circular, capillaries in a spinnerette with the diameter of the extmded filaments then being rapidly reduced, for example, by non-eductive or eductive fluid-drawing or other well known spunbonding mechanisms. The production of spunbonded nonwoven webs is well- known and illustrated in patents such as Appel, et al., U.S. Pat. No.4,340,563; Dorschner et al., U.S. Pat. No. 3,692,618; Kinney, U.P. Pat. Nos. 3,338,992 and 3,341,394; Levy, U.S. pat. No. 3,276,944; Peterson, U.S. Pat. No. 3,502,538; Hartman, U.S. Pat. No. 3,502,763; Dobo et al., U.S. Pat. No. 3,542,615; and Harmon, Canadian Pat. No. 803,714. As used herein, the term "meltblown fabrics" refers to a fabric comprising fibers formed by extruding a molten thermoplastic material through a plurality of fine, usually circular, die capillaries as molten threads or filaments into a high velocity gas (e.g. air) stream which attenuates the filaments of molten thermoplastic material to reduce their diameters, which may be to microfiber diameter. Thereafter, the meltblown fibers are carried by the high-velocity gas stream and are deposited on a collecting surface to form a web of randomly disbursed meltblown fibers. The meltblown process is well-known and is described in various patents and publications, including NRL Report 4364 "Manufacture of Super-Fine Organic Fibers" by V . Wendt, E.L.Boone, and CD. Fluharty; NRL Report 5265, "An Improved device for the Formation of Super-Fine Thermoplastic Fibers" by K.D. Lawrence, R.T. Lukas, and J.A. Young; and U.S. Pat. No. 3,849,241 to Buntin, et al. As used herein, the term "microfibers" means small diameter fibers having an average diameter not greater than about 100 microns, for example, having a diameter of from about 0.5 microns to about 50 microns. More specifically microfibers may also have an average diameter of from about 1 micron to about 20 microns. Microfibers having an average diameter of about 3 microns or less are commonly referred to as ultra-fine microfibers. As used herein, the term "wet-laid fabrics" refers to fabrics formed by a process, such as a paper-making process, wherein fibers dispersed in a liquid medium are deposited onto a screen such that the liquid medium flows through the screen, leaving a fabric on the surface of the screen. Fiber bonding agents may be applied to the fibers in the liquid medium or after being deposited onto the screen. Wet-laid fabrics may contain natural and/or synthetic fibers. As used herein, the term "spunlaced fabrics" refers to a web of material consisting of a blend of natural fibers and synthetic fibers, where the fibers are subjected to high-velocity water jets which entangle the fibers to achieve mechanical bonding. Desirably, the natural fibers are wood pulp fibers and the synthetic fibers are polyester fibers. As used herein, the terms "needle-punched" and "needled" refer to a web of material consisting of one or more fibrous materials, where in the fibers are subjected to needles which entangle the fibers to achieve mechanical interlocking without the need for adhesives or chemical additives. As used herein, the term "woven fabric" refers to a fabric containing a structure of fibers, filaments or yams, which are orderly arranged in an interengaged fashion, woven fabrics typically contain interengaged fibers in a "warp" and "fill" direction. The warp direction corresponds to the length of the fabric while the fill direction corresponds to the width of the fabric. Woven fabrics can be made on a variety of loans including, but not limited to, shuttle looms, Rapier looms, projectile looms, air jet looms and water jet looms. There are numerous suitable vehicles for facilitating the delivery of sequestering agents to the skin. A suitable vehicle is any material that can encounter the skin to deliver the sequestrants to the skin. Examples of suitable vehicles include, but are not limited to, aqueous solutions, lotions, creams, pastes and the like. In certain embodiments of the present invention, it is desireable to combine hydrophobic and hydrophilic sequestering agents, such as modified and non-modified clays, with lipophilic sequestering agent compositions. For example, unmodified clay in combination with various lipophilic sequestering agent compositions demonstrates a synergism resulting in additional sequestering affinity for nasal secretion skin irritants. As used herein "lipophilic sequestering agent composition" describes any substance that has a higher affinity for oil over water and provides a skin health benefit by directly interacting with the skin. Suitable examples of such benefits include, but are not limited to, enhancing skin barrier function, enhancing moisturization and nourishing the skin. The lipophilic sequestering agent compositions may include stearic acid, isoparrafin, petrolatum, and a combination thereof. The lipophilic sequestering agent compositions can also be selected from fatty acids, fatty acid esters, fatty alcohols, triglycerides, phopholipids, mineral oils, essential oils, sterols, sterol esters, emollients, waxes, and a combination thereof.

The composition may also include viscosity enhancers. As used herein, suitable viscosity enhancers include, but are not limited to, the following materials: the group consisting of polyolefin resins, polyolefin polymers, ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymers, polyethylene, and the like, as well as mixtures thereof. Ingredients of lipophilic sequestering agent compositions can also include, but are not limited to, humectants, sufactants, and viscosity enhancers present in an amount ranging from about 0.1% to about 10.0% of the total weight of the lipophilic sequestering agent composition. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that additional agents may be desirable for inclusion in the present composition. Examples include, but are not limited to, acceptable carriers, anti-inflammatories, antimicrobials, anti-puretics, skin protectants, buffering agents, α-hydroxy acids, microbial or algal extracts and/or fractions thereof, enzyme inhibitors, antihistamines, antioxidants, analgesics, antioxidants, astringents, fragrances, dyes, natural and/or synthetic vitamin analogs, sunscreens, deodorants, and combinations thereof. Therefore, the present invention provides that both hydrophilic and hydrophobic inflammatory agents on the skin can be sequestered onto the stratum corneum with a combination of both modified and non-modified sequestrant particles. The sequestering agents can be delivered to the stratum comeum either directly from the substrate, or by an acceptable vehicle. The sequestering agents may also be delivered via application to a skin irritant sequestering compositions. Sequesterants can be delivered with a skin irritant sequestering compositions either alone or when contained in one or more of the aforementioned vehicles. The skin irritant sequestering compositions is also capable of binding skin irritants present in bodily fluids other than nasal secretions and therefore, the present invention in not limited to being administered to nasolabial skin. For example, skin irritants may also be present in urine, feces and vaginal fluid. Further, skin may be irritated by external, environmental factors such as airbom paticles, occupational irritants (such as those encountered in meat packing and fish processing) and plant irritants and allergens (such as dust mite allergens). It is contemplated that the present invention can be used to provide skin health benefits in any area of skin affected by irritants capable of being bound by hydrophilic and/or hydrophobic sequestering agents. It is apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art where regions of irritated skin exist and which areas could benefit from the administration of sequestering agents. In certain embodiments, it is desirable, but not necessary, that the sequestering agent particles do not detract from the tactile attributes of the finished product. The invention provides in some embodiments an upper limit of 25 μM, and more desirably less than 15μM for the sequestering agent particle diameter. In one embodiment, the sequestering agents comprise about 0.001% to about 10.0% of the total weight of the sequestering agent/substrate combination. In another embodiment, the sequestering agents comprise about 0.01% to about 1.0% of the total weight of the sequestering agent/substrate combination. As stated above, in one embodiment, the sequestering agent for the present invention is a combination of non-modified and modified bentonite clay. As used herein, "unmodified" or "non-modified" describes clay or other suitable sequestrant material that has not been significantly chemically modified other than to process and/or purify the native material. Synthetic clays that have not been modified to be organophilic are also considered as unmodified or non-modified for the purposes of this invention. In its natural state, clay is hydrophilic, and therefore, charged. As used herein, "organophilic" describes modified clay or other suitable material where the naturally occurring charge has been significantly reduced by adding relatively hydrophobic material to the surface of the native material. For instance modifications to clays have been accomplished using a variety of techniques including derivatization with phenolic, quaternary ammonium, methyl methacrylate compounds. Likewise, "modified" sequestering agents are made by adding any number of specific compositions to the surface of a non-modified sequestrant to impart enhanced affinity for target irritant(s). A few illustrative examples include, but are not limited to, particulate matter coated with antibodies, lectins, or hydroxyapatite. A variety of hydrophobic particle modifications will be obvious to the artisan that is consistent with the invention described herein. The ability to sequester relatively hydrophobic irritants may be accomplished by modifying native materials by a variety of methods known to impart hydrophobic surface properties to native materials. The resulting organophilic materials and the methods for producing them are well known to those skilled in the art 26 ' 27 . For instance modifications to clays have been accomplished using a variety of techniques including derivatization with phenolic, quaternary ammonium, methyl methacrylate compounds 28 ' 29 - 30 . Likewise, methods to modify the surfaces of silica have been published as well 31 ' 32 ' 33 ' 34 . Additionally, hydroxyapatites have been modified using similar techniques 35 ' 36 . Titanium dioxide has also been derivatized with quaternary ammonium surfactants to increase the ability of hydrophobic molecules to interact with the resulting material 37 . These modifications are all well-known and suitable for hydrophobic sequestering agents of the present invention. It is clear that different irritants may be optimally bound by differing sequestrants. Therefore, the invention includes the use of one or more sequestrants for the contemporaneous binding of multiple irritants. Singular sequestrants such as modified and organophilic materials can be used alone for sequestering skin irritants present in nasal secretions and other bodily fluids. Additionally, the substrate may include any permutations of mixes of different native (non-modified) sequestrants, organophilic sequestrants, and modified sequestrants. Indeed, mixes of sequestrants, all of which are from a singular class, all modified or all organophilic, could also have utility for binding target irritants present in nasal secretions and other bodily fluids. In some instances, it may be desirable to provide spatial separation of one or more of the different sequestering agents to preclude undesirable interactions between said sequestering agents. This can be accomplished by a variety of means. For example, one sequestering agents could be included in a substrate while another was applied on the surface. Patterned printing of two or more sequestering agents would achieve spatial separation as well. Alternately, a multi-plied product with sequestering agents present in different surfaces or plies or embedded between surfaces or plies could again provide for spatial separation of the sequestering agents. Further it is possible to achieve spatial separation of different sequestering agents by placing them in different layers of a given ply and or different plies. Fibers, if used to prepare the sheet could also be selected and/or modified to provide irritant sequestration attributes. Different fibers could bear different sequestering agents and thereby, again, provide for spatial separation of sequestering agents. It is possible to use various permutations of the above approaches to achieve spatial separation of different sequestering agents. Heterogeneous spatial distribution of sequestering agents may also be desirable to provide for greater economy of sequestrant use. For instance, sequestrants might be applied only to outer plies of a three-ply product or only to the center of the tissue surface. Other spatial distribution patterns for achieving economic use of sequestrants will vary depending on the particular substrate material used and will be obvious to those skilled in the art. The invention also provides for one or more sequestering agents to be relatively substantive, or adhered to, to the substrate while one or more particulate sequestering agents are transferred to the skin. Such an embodiment would provide for both irritant binding to the product as well as irritant binding to sequestering agents deposited on the skin surface. The actual amount of modified and/or non-modified sequestering agent(s) that can be applied to the skin will vary widely, and can be routinely determined given the present disclosure depending upon the type of sequestrant, type and amount of irritant and aggressiveness of the therapy. Different sequestering agents will have disparate capacities for binding various irritants and, accordingly, more or less will be required depending on the choice of sequestrant(s) used. However, it is critical that enough is used to produce a decrease in the irritation caused by nasal secretions. When the sequestering agent is clay, typically, the amount of modified and non-modified clay applied to the skin will be in the range of about 0.0 lug per square centimeter to about lOOug per square centimeter. The results of Figures 5 and 6 show that at a dose equivalent to about 4.0ug/cm 2 of bentonite was highly effective. The clay used in the method of the invention is typically applied to the skin in a dermatological composition comprising a suspension of the organophilic and non-modified clay in an acceptable vehicle. Suitable vehicles include organic and aqueous liquid vehicles, lotions, creams, emulsions, gels or the like. The organophilic and non-modified clay can also be applied in finely divided form as a mixture with a dusting powder, e.g., as a mixture with a talcum powder or a finely divided starch powder. Modified clays may also be used in the above substrate configurations. The topically applied protective composition (vehicle containing sequestrants) may also act as a barrier to prevent irritants from coming into contact with the skin. The vehicle may contain emollients to aid in healing irritated skin and dispersants to keep the clays in suspension. The vehicle should preferably be inert with respect to the clays, i.e., it should be devoid of materials that would themselves adsorb to the clays and thereby diminish the adsorptive capacity of the clay to the point where the sequestrants are no longer effective. The non-modified hydrophilic and modified hydrophobic sequestrants that comprise the sequestering agents of the present invention may be any conventional sequestrant of commerce suitable for cosmetic use. By way of example, clays are well known and can be utilized as sequestrants in the present invention. They can be prepared from any of the clays of the smectite class that are known to swell in water and/or hydrophilic solvents to form viscous suspensions. Suitable clays include naturally occurring montmorillonite, bentonite, beidellite, hectorite, saponite and stevensite, and their synthetically made counterparts such as laponite for example. These clays have a lamellar structure wherein alkali metal ions are distributed between the lamellae. The hydrophilic clays occur naturally. Treatment of these clays with long-chain compounds that contain substantial hydrophobic regions (for example, long-chain quaternary amines) imparts increased hydrophobicity to the clay and thereby renders the clay organophilic. The quaternary ammonium compounds used in preparing the organophilic modified clay component of the skin-protecting composition used in the method of the invention typically have one or two long-chain substituents, e.g., 14-20 carbon atoms, and two or three short-chain substituents such as methyl groups. A preferred quaternary ammonium compound is dimethyl dihydrogenated tallow ammonium chloride. Because the tallow contains a large proportion of stearic acid, which contains 18 carbon atoms, the resulting clay is often referred to as a quaternium 18 clay, e.g., quatemium 18 bentonite, or quatemium 18 hectorite. The composition and preparation of such organophilic clays is well-known. In one embodiment, the modified organophilic clay for use in the method of this invention is quatemium 18 bentonite. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that additional agents may be desirable for inclusion in the present composition. Examples include, but are not limited to, acceptable vehicles, anti-inflammatories, antimicrobials, anti-pmretics, skin protectants, lipids, buffering agents, α-hydroxy acids, microbial or algal extracts and/or fractions thereof, enzyme inhibitors, moisturizers, antihistamines, antioxidants, analgesics, antioxidants, fragrances, dyes, natural and/or synthetic vitamin analogs or mixtures thereof. The inclusion of these agents with sequestrants will afford benefits relative to similar compositions devoid of sequestrants. Any irritants that do achieve access to the viable layers of nasolabial skin will be less likely to have a deleterious effect on skin health due to the inclusion of a(n) additional agent(s) as referenced above. Said agents will have an increased likelihood of counteracting the irritants as the quantity of irritant achieving access to the skin is reduced by the sequestrants. It has now been found that a particularly suitable sequestering agent is clay, in particular bentonite clay. Bentonite clay is known by one of ordinary skill in the art to be a readily available, natural occurring clay. One embodiment of the present invention entails a combination of both organophilic and non-modified bentonite clay being present on the paper facial tissue. Hydrophilic and/or hydrophobic sequestering agents may be carried by a wide variety of substrates for delivery to the skin. Examples include, but are not limited to, woven and nonwoven webs, spunbonded fabric, metlblown fabric, knit fabric, wet-laid fabric, scrims, synthetic fibers and natural fibers. It is to be understood that these suitable substrates are not mutually exclusive and can be used in combination. The processes of making these suitable substrates are convential and known to the skilled artisan. In one embodiment, hydrophilic and hydrophobic sequestering agents are carried by nonwoven webs for delivery to the skin. The process of making fabric from meltblown polymer fiber is well known and is describe in U.S. Pat. No. 5,720,832, British Pat. No. 2,006,614, British Pat. No. 1,295,267 and U.S. Pat. No. 3,676,242. A method for incorporating absorbent particles into meltblown nonwoven webs is described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,720,832 incorporated herein by reference. In one embodiment, both hydrophilic and hydrophobic sequestering agents are carried by a paper fiber tissue for delivery to the skin. The process of making paper fiber tissue are known to the skilled artisan and are outlined in U.S. Patent No 5,672,248 for example, incorporated herein by reference. Apart from specific hydrophobic and hydrophilic sequestering agents, the invention provides that the tissue paper substrate may further comprise fillers. Particulate fillers can be selected from clay, calcium carbonate, titanium dioxide, talc, aluminum silicate, calcium silicate, alumina trihydrate, activated carbon, pearl starch, calcium sulfate, glass microspheres, diatomaceous earth, and mixtures thereof. Usually, these particulate fillers are applied in the wet end of the papermaking process by flocculating the filler with a cationic starch and using a cationic retention aid at the outlet of the fan pump. Flocculant size is often an important aspect of maintaining desirable opacity levels and strength in tissue products. If the flocculent particles are too large, good retention is achieved but with a significant loss of strength and poor opacity due to the reduction of air-filler and fiber-filler interfaces. On the other hand, if the flocculent particles are too small, retention is poor even though less strength is lost and greater opacifying efficiency is obtained. Other additives include retention aids, a term as used herein, referring to additives used to increase the retention of the sequestering agents in the web during the papermaking process. Various anionic and cationic retention aids are known in the art. Generally, the most common anionic retention aids are charged polyacrylates, whereas the most common cationic retention aids are charged polyacrylamides. These retention aids agglomerate the suspended particles through the use of a bridging mechanism. A wide range of molecular weights and charge densities are available. In general, high molecular weight materials with a medium charge density are preferred for flocculating particulate fillers. The filler retention aid floes are easily broken down by shear forces and are usually added after the fan pump. Cationic starches are commonly used to agglomerate the clay or other filler particles. It is believed that the cationic starch becomes insoluble after binding to the anionically-charged filler particles. The goal of agglomeration is having the filler covered with the bushy starch molecules. The starch molecules provide a cationic surface for the attachment of more filler particles, causing an increase in agglomerate size. The size of the starch filler agglomerates is an important factor in obtaining the optimal balance of strength and optical properties. Agglomerate size is controlled by the rate of shear supplied during the mixing of the starch with the filler. The agglomerates, once formed, are not overly shear sensitive, but they can be broken down over an extended period of time or in presence of very high shear forces. The charge characteristic of the starch is significant as well. Since starch is usually employed at an amount of less than 5% by weight of filler, the filler-starch agglomerates possess a negative charge. In this case, a cationic retention aid is utilized. Higher levels of starch are sometimes employed. In these instances, the filler- starch agglomerates may actually possess a net positive charge and would, thus, require the use of an anionic retention aid. Nonparticulate fillers may also be employed. One such class of nonparticulate fillers includes thermoplastic microspheres. Such non-particulate fillers are generally applied as a coating in a post-treatment operation; however, they may be applied in the wet end. When applied in the Other materials can be added to the aqueous papermaking furnish or the embryonic web to impart other characteristics to the product or improve the papermaking process so long as they do not significantly and adversely affect the sequestering agents' biding affinity for the skin irritants. Examples: Example #1 Nasal Secretions Elicit a Pro-inflammatory Response in a Human Skin Model The EpiDerm™ skin model (MatTek Co.; Ashland, MA; Cat. # EPI-200-HCF) was employed to determine the pro-inflammatory (PI) properties of nasal secretions (NS). This objective was accomplished by adding pooled NS to the EpiDerm™ model and quantifying the induction of marker compounds indicative of cutaneous inflammation. These markers included a primary cytokine (IL-1 α) and a secondary cytokine (IL-8) produced by the keratinocytes present in the EpiDerm ™ model. Nasal secretions were obtained from multiple individuals, stored at -70°C until pooled. Upon thawing the NS were maintained at 4° until applied to the EpiDerm model. The NS samples were pooled into 50 ml polystyrene centrifuge tubes. Once pooled, the nasal secretions were centrifuged at 13K X g for 5 minutes. The supemate was removed to a new 50 ml polystyrene centrifuge tube. The pellet was sonicated with a Virtis Virsonic Model #475 sonicator equipped with a CV4 Ultrasonic Converter for 1 minute. The resulting fluid was centrifuged as before and the supernatant added to the previous supernatant. Aliquots of the pooled supemates were stored at -70°C until needed. The EpiDerm ™ model was handled as prescribed by the vendor. The EpiDerm™ surface was treated with 25 μl of pooled NS and returned to a 37°C incubator with an atmosphere containing 5% CO 2 for 24 hours. These experiments were performed with n values of 6 for each treatment (one treatment per 6 well plate). Positive and negative controls were included with each experiment. The negative control was 25 μl of PBS while the positive control, 25μl of phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (TPA) at 1 mg/ml. At the conclusion of the incubation period, the conditioned media was stored in a -70°C freezer for future analysis. The concentration of Interleukin- l α (IL-lα) and Interleukin-8 (IL-8) present in the conditioned media was determined using ELISA kits obtained from R&D Systems, Inc.; Minneapolis, MN (Cat. #DLA50 and #D8050 respectively). Differences in mean values between treatments were determined using the Student's t-test. The significance level was set at P < 0.05. Figure #1 demonstrates that significantly more IL-l α is detected in the conditioned media underlying EpiDerm samples treated with NS relative to the negative control. Figure #2 illustrates the same finding for IL-8. These results indicate that NS has pro- inflammatory properties when applied to a living human skin model. Example #2 Suitability of Different Clays as Sequestrants for a Skin Irritant Present in Nasal Secretion Non-modified clays suspensions (10 mg/ml) were prepared in Eppendorf tubes. The fluid used to suspend the clays was achieve 50 mM phosphate buffer at pH 7.4 with 150 mM NaCI, 50 ng/ml IL-8, and 0.1% bovine serum albumin (BSA). Each clay suspension, bentonite (Sigma Cat. No. B-3378), kaolinite (Sigma Cat. No. K-7375), zeolite (Sigma Cat. No. Z-3125), and laponite clay (LAP RD MICRO Sample #12566 - 62028; Southern Clay Products, Inc.) was prepared in a separate Eppendorf tube. A control tube was prepared that contained the IL-8 solution without clay. The resulting tubes were incubated for two hours on a rocking platform at room temperature. Then, the tubes were centrifuged at 10,000 rpm in an Eppendorf 5415C microcentrifuge for 10 minutes, and the supematants transferred to fresh Eppendorf tubes and frozen at -70°C for further analysis. Samples were thawed and the IL-8 content was determined with the use of an R&D Systems IL-8 ELISA kit (Cat. # D8050). The amount of IL-8 present in the supernatant was compared to that recovered in the buffer control. Differences, representing loss of IL-8, were then measured as indices of sequestration activity. Figure 3 shows the ability of various clays to sequester IL-8 from solution. The results indicate that the various clays have differing affinities for IL-8. The clay with the highest affinity for IL-8 was bentonite, followed by kaolinite, laponite and zeolite. Example #3 Clay Sequestrants Prevent IL-8 Permeation Through a Human Skin Model A skin model, MatTek's (Ashland, MA) EpiDerm™ skin model, (Cat. #EPI-200- HCF) was used in this experiment. The clays used were bentonite (Sigma Cat. No. B-3378) and kaolin (Sigma K-7375). Four 10 ug vials of IL-8 (Sigma 1-1645) were rehydrated with 250 μl distilled water each to provide about 1.00 ml of 40 μg/ml rhIL-8. Clay suspensions were prepared by adding phosphate buffer to pre-weighed amounts of clay to achieve 20 mg/ml suspensions of both bentonite and kaolin. 2.0 and 0.2 mg/ml suspensions of both clays were prepared by serial 10-fold dilutions of the original clay suspensions. Both the interleukin-8 (IL-8) and clay suspensions were prepared at 2. Ox their final concentrations. For a co-deposition procedure, 100 μl IL-8 stock (2x) and 100 μl of clay suspension (2x) were mixed in a 1.5 ml Eppendorf tube. 25 μl aliquots were added to the Eppendorf model. For an ordered deposition procedure, 12.5 μl of the 2.0x clay suspension was applied to the EpiDerm model followed by 12.5 μl of the 2.0x IL-8 solution. In the control, 100 μl of IL-8 solution and 100 μl of phosphate buffer were added to a 1.5 ml Eppendorf tube, mixed and 25 μl added to the EpiDerm model. The EpiDerm was pre-incubated and incubated according to the manufacturer's instructions, except in 1.0 ml of assay medium rather than 0.9 ml. Treatments were applied to the surface of the EpiDerm skin model as described above. Fifty μl of the media was sampled at 6 hours, and the remainder collected at 24 hours. Tubes were immediately placed on crushed ice following collection, and once all samples were collected, they were immediately transferred to a -70°C freezer until analyzed. The IL-8 content of the media was determined using R&D Systems IL-8 ELISA kit (Lot No. D-8050) after thawing and diluting the samples. Cellular viability of the EpiDerm was determined using the vendor-supplied MTT kit (3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide). The viability results, shown in Fig. 4, indicate that the clays do not adversely effect cell viability. The blockage of IL-8 permeation by pretreatment with clays is shown in Fig. 5. The blockage of IL-8 permeation with co-applied clays is shown in Fig. 6. Both bentonite and kaolinite inhibit the permeation of the skin irritant IL-8 present in nasal secretions. Bentonite appears to have a greater effect than kaolinite in the EpiDerm model. Example #4 Kinetics of Interleukin-8 Binding to Bentonite The determination of how fast interleukin-8 (IL-8) binds to bentonite is important for elucidating practical methods of sequestering on the skin. Therefore, 50 mM phosphate buffer with 150 mM NaCI and 0.1% bovine serum albumin (BSA) was prepared. A double strength suspension of non-modified bentonite was prepared in the above buffer at a concentration of 20 mg/ml. Likewise, a solution of IL-8 was prepared at a concentration of 500 mg/ml by rehydrating a 10 ug vial of IL-8 (Sigma Cat. No. 1-1645, Lot No. 117H0247) with 500 μl of distilled water. 125 μl was transferred to 4.9 ml of phosphate buffer to arrive at a concentration of 500 ng/ml. 500 μl of the 2x clay suspension was added to an Eppendorf tube along with 500 μl of the IL-8. The control tube contained 500 μl phosphate buffer along with 500 μl of IL-8 solution (no clay). The tubes were placed on a tube rocker at room temperature for 1, 2 and 8 minutes (the control tube was placed on the rocker for 8 minutes). Immediately after the incubation period, the tubes were placed in an Eppendorf 5415C microcentrifuge (10,000 φm for 5 minutes at room temperature) to pellet the clay. The supernatant was removed and transferred to fresh 1.5 ml Eppendorf tubes. The amount of IL-8 remaining in the supernatant was determined. The clay supematants contained the amounts of IL-8 at the time points as shown in Table #1. These results demonstrate that the binding of IL-8 to clay is extremely rapid and thorough. Table #1: Example #5 Contemporaneous Sequestration of Multiple Skin Irritants to Non-modified Bentonite Previous studies have shown that bentonite can remove skin irritants from solution using IL-8 as a model skin irritant relevant to nasal secretions. This experiment expands the scope of this investigation by including other putative skin irritants present in nasal secretions, including IL-lα, IL-l β, IL-8 and PGE2- Activities of each sequestrant with each irritant present alone and in combination were evaluated. Target concentrations of each irritant were chosen to reflect the upper end of concentrations that are observed in nasal secretions. The irritants used were PGE2 (Calbiochem Catalogue No. 538904, Lot No. B21932), IL-1 alpha (R&D Systems 200-LA, Lot #AC147071), IL-1 beta (Sigma 1-4019, Lot #10640049) and IL-8 (Sigma 1- 1645, Lot #11740247). The sequestrant utilized was bentonite (Sigma B-3378, Lot #67H1576). Suspensions of bentonite were prepared at two concentrations (11.1 1 mg/ml and 16.67 mg/ml as 1.1 lx and 1.66x of working strength, respectively). Solutions of the skin irritants were prepared at lOx target concentrations. In this way, the addition of part irritant stock (at lOx working strength) to 9 parts of clay suspension (at 1.1 lx working strength) would result in a suspension where both clay and irritant concentrations were lx. The diluent used for the clay suspensions and irritant dilutions was 50 mM TRIS buffer at pH 7.5 with 150 mM NaCI and 1% BSA The sequestration of singular irritants was performed by adding 100 μl of lOx irritant stock solution to 900 μl of 1.1 lx bentonite suspension in a 1.5 μl Eppendorf tube. The tubes were placed in a rocker for 1 hour at room temperature. Tubes were centrifuged at 10,000 m for 10 minutes (Eppendorf Microcentrifuge 5415C). 500 μl of each supernatant was removed and transferred to a fresh tube for freezing at -70°C until later analysis. Contemporaneous sequestration of all four irritants was accomplished in a similar fashion except that 100 μl of each stock solution was added to 600 μl of 1.667X bentonite solution. Bentonite supemate was prepared using diluent buffer to suspend the bentonite at 10 mg/ml, centrifuging the suspension after an incubation period similar to that described for the test suspensions. However, this was done on a larger scale using 50 ml tubes. The tubes were centrifuged for 5 minutes in a J-25I Beckman ultra-centrifuge equipped with a J-12 rotor at 9,000 φm. The resulting supernatant was filtered through a 5 μm sterile Acrodisc- (Gelman Cat. #4199) equipped with a low protein-binding filter (Gelman Sciences; Ann Arbor, MI). 900 μl aliquots were placed in 1.5 ml Eppendorf tubes along with 100 μl of irritant stock solution (lOx). This was done in parallel for each irritant to ensure that components of the clay suspension supematants did not interfere with the subsequent ELISA (comparison of "buffer alone" to "supemate alone"). ELISA kits for each irritant (PGE2, IL-lα, IL-lβ, and IL-8) were obtained from R&D Systems (Minneapolis, MN) and used to quantify the analytes present in the samples. Fig. 7 shows the results of IL-1 alpha sequestration by bentonite. Fig. 8 shows the results of IL-1 beta sequestration by bentonite. Fig. 9 shows the results of IL-8 sequestration by bentonite. Fig. 8 shows the results of PGE2 sequestration by bentonite. All cytokines were effectively removed from solution by the clay. This was true if added singularly or in combination to the clay suspensions. The fraction of PGE2 removed from solution solutions by the non-modified bentonite was not nearly as large as that realized for the cytokines. This may be due to the relative hydrophobicity and/or the chemical composition of PGE2. Example #6 Sequestration of Skin Irritants from Buffer and Nasal Secretions Using Non-Modified and Organophilic Clays. This experiment seeks to evaluate the ability of various materials to remove (sequester) irritants from both solution and human nasal secretions. Sequestration buffer (50 mM phosphate buffered at pH 7.4 with 150 mM NaCI and 0.1% bovine serum albumin (BSA)) was prepared. A 1.11 X solution of IL-8 (Sigma Cat. No. 1-1645, Lot No. 1 17H0247) was prepared at a concentration of 555 ng/ml in sequestration buffer. For determining IL-8 sequestration in buffer, nine parts of 1.1 lx IL-8 in sequestration buffer was added to 1 part of a 10X clay suspension. Specifically, 630 μl of IL-8 (@ 555ng/ml) in sequestration buffer was placed in a 1.5 ml Eppendorf tube along with 70 μl of lOx non-modified bentonite suspension (100 mg/ml). Similarly, tests were also performed with an organophilic montmorillonite clay modified by quarternary ammonium, available as Claytone APA (Southern Clay Products, Gonzales, TX) using the same approach described above for non- modified bentonite. In both cases the sequestrant IL-8 mixes were incubated on a rocker platform at room temperature for 30 minutes, and centrifuged for 10 minutes at 10,000 φm in an Eppendorf microcentrifuge. The supernatant was collected, and frozen at -70_C until analyzed. Sequestration was determined by comparing the amount of IL-8 remaining in the supemate to that of IL-8 added to a similar tube devoid of clay. Nasal secretions previously collected in an undiluted form from an individual were stored at -70°C. They were thawed and centrifuged at 10,000 φm at 4C in a Beckman J- 251 ultracentrifuge equipped with a JA-12 rotor for 10 minutes. The supernatant was removed from each tube and pooled into a clean sterile 50 ml polystyrene centrifuge tube. The pellets were combined in a similar tube and sonicated for 15 seconds using a Virtis Virsonic 475 sonicator equipped with a C V4 converter. The sonicated material was centrifuged as before and the resulting supernatant was added to the previous supernatant. This procedure is necessary to permit handling of the viscous material. For determining IL-8, PGE2, and LTB4 sequestration from nasal secretions the test was performed as described above for determining sequestration in a buffer background. However, the volumes were different in that 20 μl of a 10X clay suspension were added to 180 μl of nasal secretions. Sequestration was determined by comparing the amount of analyte (IL-8, PGE2, and LTB4) remaining in the nasal secretion supemate to that of the nasal secretion control. The control was prepared in a similar tube without clay (20 μl of sequestration buffer devoid of clay was added to 180 μl of nasal secretion). Figure 1 1 illustrates the removal of the skin irritant IL-8 from buffer by non derivatized bentonite and Claytone APA. These results demonstrate that non-modified bentonite is superior for the removal of IL-8 from solution relative to the derivatized clay. The bentonite was found to remove 99.9% of the IL-8 from solution whereas the organophilic clay (montmorillonite modified with quaternary ammonium compounds) were far less effective, removing -20% of the IL-8 from solution. Figure 12 demonstrates that non-modified bentonite is able to remove 95% of the skin irritant IL-8 from human nasal secretions, whereas the organophilic clay has little activity, removing only -10% of the IL-8. Figure 13 provides evidence to suggest that organophilic clay modified with quaternary ammonium compounds can remove more (81%) of the eicosanoid PGE2 from human nasal secretions whereas non-modified bentonite has less activity (16% removal). Similarly, Figure 14 demonstrates that the organophilic clay has a higher affinity for the eicosanoid LTB4 relative to non-modified bentonite. The organophilic clays may have an increased affinity for the eicosanoids due to their relatively hydrophobic nature imparted by the quaternary ammonium compounds that decorate them. Consequently, the lipid-derived eicosanoids will have a higher affinity for modified clays. This makes the modified clays particularly well suited for binding these specific irritants from nasal secretions. The results of this experiment illustrate the utility of using two different sequestrants for the contemporaneous removal of two different skin irritants when present in nasal secretion. Example #7 Sequestrants retain their ability to Sequester Skin Irritants from Nasal Secretions when Present in a Prototypic Lotion Vehicles The ability of lotions to sequester IL-8 from solution was determined in an experiment similar to that described in Example #6 above. For determining IL-8 sequestration in lotion, nine parts of 1.1 lx IL-8 in sequestration buffer was added to 1 part of test lotion (containing non-modified bentonite), control lotion (devoid of the bentonite), or a 10X non- modified bentonite suspension. Specifically, 630 μl of IL-8 (@ 555ng/ml) in sequestration buffer was placed in a 1.5 ml Eppendorf tube along with 70 μl of a test lotion (1% non-modified bentonite), or control lotion, or 10 mg/ml non-modified bentonite suspension (100 mg/ml). The sequestrant IL-8 mixes were incubated on a rocker platform at room temperature for 30 minutes, and centrifuged for 10 minutes at 10,000 φm in an Eppendorf microcentrifuge. The supernatant was collected, and frozen at -70 °C until analyzed. Sequestration was determined by comparing the amount of IL-8 remaining in the supemate to that of IL-8 added to a similar tube devoid of the lotion vehicle or clay. Three emulsions (lotions A, B, and C) were prepared. Before emulsification, clay (bentonite, Sigma Cat # B-3378) was added to the water and glycerin (Lotion A) mixture, or to the Polawax and Formula 1 mixture (Lotion B). Once a homogeneous dispersion of clay was achieved in the water/glycerin mix or the Polawax/Formula 1 mix it was emulsified with the remainder of the formulation (devoid of clay) to achieve the final lotion. The control lotion (Lotion C) was prepared without clay. Components Lotion A wt% Lotion B wt% Lotion C wt% Water 74 74 75 Glycerin 5 5 5 Polawax a 10 10 10 Formula 1 b 10 10 10 Bentonite 1 1 - a r P»o lla„.w..ax i • s a ~vailable from Croda, LTD. (Parsippany, NJ.) and is referred to as Emulsifying Wax NF by the International Nomenclature Cosmetic Ingredient (INCI). b Formula 1 contains Mineral oil (59.8%), Dimethicone (1.0%), Isopropyl palmitate (3.0%), Aloe extract (0.1%), Vitamin E acetate (0.1%), Cerasin (18%), and Stearyl alcohol (18%). Figure 15 shows the results of IL-8 sequestration by lotions containing non- modified bentonite. This demonstrates that, as described above, non-modified bentonite is able to bind IL-8 and remove it from solution. Additionally, the inclusion of non-modified bentonite in the emulsion ( 1 wt%) resulted in the removal of IL-8 from solution by about 90% whereas a lotion devoid of clay had no detectable affinity for the IL-8. Example #8 The inclusion of clay to facial tissue prototypes provides for a facial tissue with an affinity for the skin irritant IL-8. Tissue prototypes were prepared on a laboratory scale to attain 30 gsm handsheets with and without the addition of non-modified bentonite. In one embodiment the bentonite was pretreated by boiling in water (cooked clay) before addition to the tissue. Tissue prototypes were prepared on a laboratory scale to attain 30 gsm handsheets with and without the addition of non- modified bentonite. In one embodiment the bentonite was pretreated by boiling in water (cooked clay) before addition to the tissue. A handsheet study was carried out to evaluate the utility of incoφorating irritant sequestrants into tissue structures. Tissue prototypes were prepared in the laboratory from wood fibers (70% bahia SUL eucalyptus, 30% northern softwood kraft). In preparing the tissue sheets, a stock slurry was prepared from 50 grams (dry weight) of fiber and approximately 1950 g of distilled water for each prototype prepared. The stock slurry was then beaten in a British Pulp Disintegrator (Messmer Instruments Limited Part No. ME 295 Mark IIIC Imp; KC Item No.: 1071274) at 3000 φm for five minutes. Two ml of 0.5% w/v Kymene (Product #557LX; Hercules Incoφorated; Wilmington, DE) was added to the resulting slurry. For handsheets that contained clay, 625 mg of bentonite was added in several increments with continuous stirring. Control handsheets were prepared without the addition of bentonite. The slurry was mixed for an additional 1-2 minutes following the final addition of clay. The resulting slurry was made up to 8 liters with distilled water. Then 225 mis of this diluted, well-mixed, 2 slurry was used for making 8.5 inch tissue sheets in a Valley Ironwork mold (Voith-Sulzer Papertech; KC Item No. 773193). The resulting sheets were then couched off the screen and pressed in a press with equipped blotter sheets at a pressure of 75 pounds per square inch for one minute. The wet sheets were dried over a steam dryer for two minutes, and then in an oven at about 100° C to a constant dry weight (30 grams per square meter). The amount of clay present in the tissue was determined by analytical methods. Pre-weighed samples of the tissue prototypes were burned over a Meker burner, heated in a Muffle furnace at 550°C for 2 hours. The resulting ash was cooled and weighed. The clay material itself was treated similarly to account for weight loss attributed to water content or other volatiles lost during the heating process. The amount of ash present in control tissues devoid of clay was subtracted from the amount of ash present in the tissues with clay. The difference was attributed to the clay content. The amount of clay detected in the tissue prototypes was ranged between undetectable to 0.38%. Tissue prototypes were evaluated for their ability to sequester the skin irritant IL-8 from 50 mM TRIS buffer @ pH 7.4 with 0.1% BSA and 150 mM NaCI. An IL-8 solution was prepared in this buffer at a target concentration of 50 ng/ml. This was accomplished by adding 100 μl of IL-8 solution for each mg of tissue placed in a 1.5 ml Eppendorf tube. Tubes containing test tissue, control tissue, or just buffer with IL-8 were incubated on a rocking platform for 90 minutes at room temperature. At the conclusion of the incubation period the tubes were centrifuged and the supemates analyzed for IL-8 remaining in solution. Sequestration of IL-8 was determined by comparing removal in control tissue to that observed in the buffer control and that realized in tubes containing test tissue. The results (see Figure 16) demonstrate that the addition of non-modified bentonite clay imparts to tissues an increased affinity for the skin irritant IL-8. Tissue without the inclusion of clay removed 5% of the IL-8 from solution. In contrast, the tissue with clay or cooked clay removed 82%o and 92% of the IL-8 from solution, respectively. Example 9 The ability of non-clay sequestrants to adsorb the skin irritant IL-8. The ability of silica and titanium dioxide (Tiθ2) to remove skin irritants present in nasal secretions (IL-8) was evaluated using methods similar to those described above for the evaluation of clays. In this experiment fumed silica with a mean particle size of 7 nm (SIGMA #S-5130), silica with a mean particle size of 1 and 5 μm, and Tiθ2 were evaluated. The ability of these materials to sequester IL-8 was determined in 50 mM TRIS buffer @ pH 7.4 with 0.1% BSA and 150 mM NaCI. An IL-8 solution was prepared in this buffer at a concentration of 35 ng/ml. Sequestration was determined by adding 100 μl of IL-8 solution for each mg of silica or Tiθ2 placed in a 1.5 ml Eppendorf tube. Tubes containing test material or just buffer with IL-8 were incubated on a rocking platform for 60 minutes at room temperature. At the conclusion of the incubation period the tubes were centrifuged and the supemates analyzed for IL-8 remaining in solution. Sequestration of IL-8 was determined by comparing the amount of IL-8 in supemates derived from tubes containing test material to that present in the control tube devoid of sequestrant. The results demonstrate (see Figure 17) that both silica and Tiθ2 have the ability to bind the skin irritant IL-8. Example 10 Binding kinetics of skin irritants (IL-8 and PGE2) to non-clay sequestrants. The ability of silica and titanium dioxide (Tiθ2) to remove skin irritants present in nasal secretions (IL-8 and PGE2) as a function of time was evaluated. The methods used to measure this was similar to those described above for the evaluation of irritant binding by silica and Tiθ2 for a single 60 minute incubation. In this experiment, fumed silica with a mean particle size of 7 nm (SIGMA #S-5130), silica with a mean particle size of 1 and 5 μm, and Tiθ2 were again evaluated. IL-8 and PGE2 sequestration was determined in 50 mM TRIS buffer @ pH 7.4 with 0.1% BSA and 150 mM NaCI. An IL-8 solution was prepared in this buffer at a target concentration of 50 ng/ml . Similarly, a PGE2 solution was prepared. Sequestration was determined by adding 100 μl of irritant solution for each mg of silica or Tiθ2 placed in a 1.5 ml Eppendorf tube. Tubes containing test material or just buffer with IL-8 were incubated on a rocking platform for 2, 5, 10, and 30 minutes at room temperature. This procedure was performed in parallel for the evaluation of PGE2 sequestration. At the conclusion of each incubation period tubes were centrifuged and the supemates analyzed for IL-8 or PGE2 remaining in solution. Sequestration of IL-8 or PGE2 was determined by comparing the amount of each analyte present in supemates derived from tubes containing test material to that present in the control tube devoid of sequestrant. The results for IL-8 sequestration are summarized in Figure 18. Binding of PGE2 to silica and Tiθ2 was not detected (data not shown). Table 2 demonstrates that binding of IL-8 to these sequestrants is rapid. The results demonstrate that both silica and Tiθ2 have the ability to bind the skin irritant IL-8 (Figure 18) and that this binding is rapid (Table 2). However, non-modified silica and Tiθ2 do not have a detectable affinity for the relatively hydrophobic skin irritant PGE2 present in nasal secretions (Data not shown). Table #2 Example 11 Unmodified clays sequester the fecal protease trypsin from solution Bentonite This example demonstrates the novel finding that unmodified clays can effectively adsorb, or sequester, irritating fecal enzymes. Preparation of Stock Solutions Porcine pancreatic trypsin (T-0134, Sigma Chemical Co, St. Louis MO) was prepared as a 4 μg/mL stock solution in Buffer A (50 mM sodium acetate, 150 mM NaCI, pH 5.5). Unmodified clay (bentonite, catalog # B-3378, Sigma Chemical Co., St Louis, MO) was prepared in the same buffer at a concentration of 4 mg/ml. After incubation at room temperature for at least 20 minutes to reconstitute the clay, working stock solutions of the bentonite were prepared at concentrations of 1, 2.5, 5, 10, 20, 40, and 80 μg/ml in Buffer A. Sequestration Assay Trypsin (500 μl stock) was added to 500 μl of one of the working bentonite stock solutions, mixed, and then incubated at room temperature for 15 minutes. The bentonite particles were then removed from the suspension by centrifugation at 14,000 φm in an Eppendorf 5415C microcentrifuge for 5 minutes. Aliquots (10 μl) of the supernatant were removed for measurement of unbound enzyme. Trypsin Assay Unbound enzyme was assayed by quantifying the hydrolysis of the synthetic trypsin substrate Boc-Gln-Ala-Arg-AMC HC1, (Bachem, Inc. Catalog # 1-1550) Reaction rates were determined by monitoring the hydrolysis of the substrate between 4 and 10 minutes at room temperature. The rate of hydrolysis was determined by measuring the liberated AMC fluorophore using a Fluoroskan Ascent microplate fluorometer (Labsytems, Inc.) equipped with 355 nm excitation and 460 nm emission filters. As can be noted in Figure 19, the unmodified clay bentonite effectively removes trypsin from a buffer solution. B. Laponite This example demonstrates the novel finding that laponite clay can effectively adsorb, or sequester, irritating fecal enzymes. Preparation of Stock Solutions Porcine pancreatic trypsin (T-0134, Sigma Chemical Co, St. Louis MO) was prepared as a 4 μg/mL stock solution in Buffer A (50 mM sodium acetate, 150 mM NaCI, pH 5.5). Unmodified clay (laponite, LAP-RD Micro Sample #12566-6/2028, Southern Clay Products, Inc. Gonzales, TX) was prepared in the same buffer at a concentration of 4 mg/ml. After incubation at room temperature for at least 20 minutes to reconstitute the clay, working stock solutions of the laponite were prepared at concentrations of 1, 2.5, 5, 10, 20, 40, and 80 μg/ml in Buffer A. Sequestration Assay Trypsin (500 ul stock) was added to 500 ul of one of the working laponite stock solutions, mixed, and then incubated at room temperature for 15 minutes. The laponite particles were then removed from the suspension by centrifugation at 14,000 rpm in an Eppendorf 5415C microcentrifuge for 5 minutes. Aliquots (10 ul) of the supernatant were removed for measurement of unbound enzyme. Trypsin Assay Unbound enzyme was assayed by quantifying the hydrolysis of the synthetic trypsin substrate Boc-Gln-Ala-Arg-AMC HC1, (Bachem, Inc. 1-1550). Reaction rates were determined by monitoring the hydrolysis of the substrate between 4 and 10 minutes at room temperature. The rate of hydrolysis was determined by measuring the liberated AMC fluorophore using a Fluoroskan Ascent microplate fluorometer (Labsytems, Inc.) equipped with 355 nm excitation and 460 nm emission filters. As can be noted in Figure 20, the unmodified clay laponite effectively removes trypsin from a buffer solution. At a concentration of 40 ug/ml laponite, all of the 2 ug in the assay was effectively removed from solution. Example #12 Laponite Dispersed in Petrolatum Reduces a Proinflammatory Response Induced by a Fecal Insult in a Human Skin Model. EpiDerm_ Laponite dispersed in petrolatum was evaluated for its ability to reduce a pro- inflammatory response induced by a fecal protease mix when applied to the human skin model, EpiDerm™ (MatTek Coφ., Ashland, MA). A protease mix (trypsin-chymotrypsin, Speciality Enzymes and Biochemicals Co., Chino, CA, Lot # 809023, containing not less than 2,500 USP units/mg of trypsin and not more than 300 USP units/mg of chymotrypsin) stock solution was prepared at 10 mg ml in 50 mM sodium acetate pH 5.5, and 0.15 M NaCI. The protease stock solution was diluted with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), pH 7.4 (Cat # 10010, Life Technologies, Gaithersburg, MD) to 250 μg/ml and served as a fecal irritant insult. The experiment was performed by applying a 15 μl aliquot of petrolatum containing 0.0%) or 5% laponite to the surface of the EpiDerm skin model and gently spreading the treatments using a glass rod. The EpiDerm™ was then incubated for 30 min at 37 °C and 5% CO2 in an incubator. The fecal irritant insult (10 μl) was then applied to the petrolatum- and laponite-petrolatum-treated EpiDerm samples while a PBS vehicle was applied to another set of EpiDerm samples treated with petrolatum devoid of laponite. The skin model was returned to the same incubator referenced above for 6 hours. At the conclusion of the incubation period the underlying media was removed and the amount of IL-lα release was quantified using an ELISA (IL-l Quantikine Kit; Cat. #DLA50, R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN). Figure 21 illustrates the results of this experiment. Petrolatum containing 5% laponite showed a significant reduction in the pro-inflammatory response (IL-l release) induced by the fecal irritant insult (Student's t-test, p < 0.05) relative to the negative control. These data indicate that the delivery a non-derivatized clay such as laponite with a vehicle such as petrolatum can improve skin health when delivered to the skin's surface by neutralizing fecal irritants that can be present in the diapered environment. Example 13 Synergistic Activity Between a Laponite Clay and a Lotion Vehicle containing lipophilic skin health benefit agents in preventing typsin Permeation Through a Skin Model This example demonstrates how unmodified clays not only maintain sequestration activity against fecal proteases in a lotion that contains various lipophilic skin health benefit agents with aliphatic chains greater than C-8 but also demonstrates how the lipophilic agents and the clay work synergistically to provide enhanced sequestration benefits. The skin model EpiDerm™, ( MatTek, Cat. #EPI-200-HCF Lot No. 1343) (Ashland, MA) was used in this experiment. Laponite clay (LAP RD MICRO Sample #12566 - 62028; Southern Clay Products, Inc.) and Vaseline® Intensive Care Lotion (Extra Strength Formulation - Cheesborough-Ponds, Inc.) were evaluated alone and in combination for their ability to prevent the penetration of trypsin into the skin. Ingredients present in Vaseline Intensive Care Extra Strength Lotion include (in order of decreasing concentration): water, glycerin, stearic acid, Cl l-13 isoparaffin, glycol stearate, triethanolamine, petrolatum, sunflower seed oil, glyceryl stearate, soya sterol, lecithin, tocopheryl acetate, retinyl palmitate, urea, collagen amino acids, sodium PCA, zinc oxide, cetyl phosphate, magnesium aluminum silicate, fragrance, stearamide AMP, com oil, methylparaben, DMDM hydantoin, iodopropynyl butylcarbamate and disodium EDTA. Several of these components, in particular, stearic acid, Cl l-13 isoparaffin, petrolatum, sunflower seed oil contain hydrocarbon chains that contain greater than eight carbon units. A 5.0% Laponite suspension was prepared by adding 5.0 g of Laponite to 10.0 ml of deionized water. The resulting solution was mixed for one half hour at room temperature on a rocking platform. At the conclusion of the mixing step 100 μl of the Laponite suspension was added to 900 μl of the Vaseline® Intensive Care Lotion (VICL). The resulting formulation was 0.90X VICL with 0.5% Laponite. Likewise, for the laponite alone control, 100 μl of the 5.05 Laponite solution was added to 900 μl of deionized water to yield a 0.5% Laponite in water. Porcine pancreatic trypsin (Sigma Chemical Co. Cat. #T-0134) was prepared as a stock solution at 1 mg/ml in 10 mM acetate buffer pH 5.5 and stored at -20 °C until used. The stock solution was thawed and diluted to 200 μg/ml in the Dulbeccos's Phosphate Buffered Saline provided by the manufacturer of EpiDerm™. The EpiDerm™ skin model was prepared according to the manufacturer's instmctions. Following pre-incubation, 10 μl samples of the treatments (VICL, VICL with 5.0% Laponite, or 5.0% Laponite) were applied to the surface of the skin model. The treatments were added with the aid of a volumetric positive displacement pipet. Following application the treatments were spread evenly over the surface of the skin model with the aid of glass rod that had rounded edges on the end. For the negative treatment control, nothing was added to the model. One to 2 minutes following the application of treatments 10 μl of the trypsin solution (200 μg/ml) was applied. All treatments were performed with n = six replicates. The EpiDerm skin model was incubated for 6 hours at 37°C and 5% CO2- At the conclusion of the incubation period the underlying media was collected and immediately transferred to a -70 °C freezer until analyzed for trypsin content. Quantification of trypsin was performed using quantitative densitometry of casein zymograms. Briefly, trypsin standards were prepared at concentrations of 2,000, 670, 200, and 20 ng/ml. Fifteen μl samples of the standards and unknowns were placed in Eppendorf tubes along with an equal volume of NOVEX 2X Tris-Glycine SDS sample buffer and incubated at room temperature for 10 minutes. A casein zymogram gel (NOVEX Cat. #EC6405) was placed in an electrophoresis tank (NOVEX #EI9001) filled with TRIS-Glycine SDS running buffer. Twenty-five μl samples of standards and unknowns were placed in each well of the gel. The samples were electrophoresed for 75 minutes at 125VDC. Following electrophoresis, the gels were processed per the vendor's instructions, stained with Coomassie R-250 colloidal blue stain and decolorized. The resulting gels were imaged with a pdi 325oe high-resolution color imaging system equipped with pdi Diversity One™ image analysis software (Huntington Station, NY). Densitometry was performed on the resulting image to develop a standard curve (trypsin concentration vs. the optical density of the attendant trypsin bands on the gel) using the trypsin standards. The concentration of trypsin present in the unknown samples was then determined using this standard curve. Differences in means were analyzed using the Student's t-test; the significance value was set at P < 0.01. Figure 22 summarizes the results of this experiment. Pretreating the skin model with the VICL formulation containing the lipophilic skin health benefit agents suφrisingly reduced the penetration of trypsin through the skin model. Laponite clay was also effective in reducing the penetration of trypsin through the skin model. Suφrisingly, the combination of VICL with the laponite caused a synergistic increase in the reduction of trypsin through the skin model. Therefore, Figure 22 illustrates the unexpected finding that a synergistic activity exists between the lotion containing the lipophilic skin health benefit agents and the particulate (clay) sequestrant in reducing the penetration of skin irritants, such as trypsin, into the skin. Thus, far from being an inert carrier, a vehicle can facilitate the activity of sequestrants. This is true even with vehicles that contain significant amounts of high molecular weight (C>8) aliphatic compounds.
