With continued exposure, a steady state is reached across the whole stratum corneum, with diffusion across this layer being the predominant pattern. In environments of relative humidities of less than 60%, water binds directly to keratin fibrils. At relative humidities from 60% to 94%, water interacts with the fibrillar bound water. At humidities greater than 94%, water content increases rapidly as ‘free water’ not bound to keratin fibrils, and the stratum corneum begins to break down mechanically.
