Irritant / corrosive response data:
24 hours after the application of the product, a moderate to significant erythema accompanied by an edema was noted in 2 animals. The edematous reaction was completely reversible between the 3rd and 5th day of the study and the erythematous reaction between the 3rd and 6th day of the study.
At the level of the cutaneous structure, as of the 3rd and the 6th day, the formation of a crust was observed. The skin became completely healthy between the 11th and 13th day of the study.
