Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not irritating
Conclusions:
No irritation was observed after 48-hours in human volunteers. Hence, Cinnamyl propionate can be considered to be not irritating to human skin.
Executive summary:

A skin irritation test was conducted on human volunteers to assess the skin irritancy ofCinnamyl propionate.

4% cinnamyl propionate in petrolatum was applied on the backs of 5 healthy, male volunteers in a 48-h closed patch test. Human volunteers were observed for signs of irritation.

No irritation was observed after 48-hours in human volunteers. Hence, Cinnamyl propionate can be considered to be not irritating to human skin.
