Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
No skin reactions were seen in 28 healthy young female volunteers in a 48 hour patch test with 1% C.I. Pigment Red 3 in petrolatum (Kgzuka et al.1980).
Executive summary:

Slight erythema or erythema with edema were observed in patients with pigmented cosmetic dermatitis in patch or photopatch tests with C.I. Pigment Red 3 after application for 48 or 72 hours. Positive reactivity was 34.2% (13/38) (Sugai et al.1977). The reddening and swelling of the skin were seen in five of 155 patients with cosmetic dermatitis in a 48-h path tests with 5% C.I. Pigment Red 3 in polyethylene glycol; slight reddening was seen in another 25 of the patients (MJCDRG 1978). In a patch test, negative reaction was observed with 1% Pigment Red 3 (in petrolatum) in the skin of patients who were suffered from dermatitis caused by Brilliant Lake Red R. No skin reactions were seen in 28 healthy young female volunteers in a 48 hour patch test with 1% C.I. Pigment Red 3 in petrolatum (Kgzuka et al.1980).
