Materials and methods

Endpoint addressed:
skin irritation / corrosion

An 8% formulation of the test substance was applied to the skin of volunteers and covered with an occlusive dressing for 24 hours. The skin irritation was scored according to the Draize scoring system.
GLP compliance:
no

Test material

Constituent 1
Reference substance name:
3234-85-3 (8% in formulation)
IUPAC Name:
3234-85-3 (8% in formulation)
Details on test material:
- Name of test material (as cited in study report): myristyl myristate
- Analytical purity: no data

Method

Ethical approval:
not specified
Details on study design:
An 8% formulation of the test substance (cologne stick) was applied to the skin of 20 volunteers and covered with an occlusive dressing for 24 hours. The skin irritation was scored according to the Draize scoring system.
Exposure assessment:
not specified
Details on exposure:
TYPE OF EXPOSURE: epidermal

Results and discussion

Results:
1/20 had very slight erythema (grade 1 of 4). No skin irritation was observed in the remaining subjects. The primary irritation index was 0.05. This indicates that the irritation potential at this concentration is low.
