Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Description of key information

A modified Draize test was performed to determine the sensitization potential of 15% Hydrogenated Lecithin in petrolatum. The test was completed in 110 out of 120 subjects. A total of ten applications were made. Patches were removed 48h after application and test sites were rinsed and evaluated before adding a new patch. 12 days after removal of the last patch, a challenge patch with the same dose used during the induction was applied to a previously untested site. The challange patch was removed after 48 hours and the site evaluated after 48 h and 96 h.

During the induction phase of the study, two 1+reactions (Erythema throughout the entire patch area) were observed in one subject. At the 48- and 96 h challange readings, one other subject had a 1+ reaction. No evidence of sensitisation to 15% hydrogenated Leichitin in petrolatum was observed.

The substance phosphatidylcholin, soya, hydrogenated, should therefore not be classified for skin sensitisation
