Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The product Omega 6 ceramide can be considered as non sensitizer.
Executive summary:

Under the conditions of a repeated insult (occlusive) patch test procedure conducted in a panel of 54 subjects, the product Omega 6 ceramide was "dermatologist-tested" and did not induce clinically significant skin irritation nor show any evidence of induced allergic contact dermatitis in human subjects. The product Omega 6 ceramide can be considered as hypoallergenic.
