- Abstract
Dear Editor, The Spanish Registry of Contact Dermatitis (REIDAC) is an active project of the Spanish Research Group on Contact Dermatitis and Skin Allergy (GEIDAC) to describe the epidemiology of allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) in Spain.[1] Since January 2019, in parallel with the European Society of Contact Dermatitis (ESCD), a series of allergens have been consecutively patched by the GEIDAC group. In this observational, multicentre study, 3629 patients were patch-tested to alkyl glucosides (DG and LG), from January 2019 to December 2021, with positive results in 30 of these (0.8%) (Table 1). Among these allergens are alkyl glucosides (AG).[[1]] AG are a family of nonionic surfactants synthesized through the condensation of glucose with long-chain fatty alcohols.[[3]] This makes the AG completely biodegradable, having recently increased their fame due to their ecological nature.
