Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not sensitizing
Conclusions:
No dermal reactions were observed on day 3 and day 7 of observation when the patient was tested with 2% sodium salicylate in petrolatum.Hence, sodium salicylate can be considered to be not sensitizing to skin.
Executive summary:

Patch test were conducted on a patient with allergic contact dermatitis to sunscreen.

A 48 year old woman with a 12 year history of rosacea was advised to use sunscreen. A sample of Anthelios dermo-pediatrics SPF-50+ was given to the patient. Half year later, the patient developed facial dermatitis. She was tested with the European baseline series using panels 1,2, and 3 of the Thin Layer Rapid Use Epicutaneous Test [T.R.U.E Test] supplemented petrolatum-based allergens in Finn chambers on Scanpor tape and with her own topical products including the Anthelios dermo-pediatrics SPF-50+ lotion. The tests were occluded for 2 days and read according to the ICDRG[International Contact Dermatitis Research Group]scoring scale on day 3 and day 7.

The patient was subsequently patch test with individual components of the Anthelios dermo-pediatrics SPF-50+ lotion as provided by the manufacturer.

No dermal reactions were observed on day 3 and day 7 of observation when the patient was tested with 2% sodium salicylate in petrolatum.

Hence, sodium salicylate can be considered to be not sensitizing to skin.
