solid: flakes

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 10.0-12.0 mg, moistened with 5 µl water

NEGATIVE CONTOL:
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 10 µl Phosphate buffered saline
POSITIVE CONTROL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 10 µl
- Concentration (if solution): 5% (aq) Sodium dodecyl sulphate
Duration of treatment / exposure:
Exposure:15 minutes
Post incubation period: 42 hours
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: human epidermis model
- % coverage: 0.38 cm2

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): phosphate buffered saline
- Time after start of exposure: 15 minutes

POST INCUBATION PERIOD
- 42 hours

SCORING SYSTEM:
- After a 42 hour incubation period, determination of the cytotoxic (irritancy) effect was performed. Cytotoxicity is expressed as the reduction of mitochondrial dehydrogenase activity measured by formazan production from MTT at the end of the treatment. Cell viability was calculated for each tissue as a percentage of the mean of the negative control tissues.

Migrated information
Conclusions:
The in vitro skin irritation test was conducted according to OECD 439 guideline and GLP principles.

It is concluded that this test is valid and that Licocare RBW 106 is non-irritant in the in vitro skin irritation test.

Executive summary:

Skin irritation is expressed as the remaining cell viability after exposure to the test substance. The relative mean tissue viability obtained after 15 minutes treatment with Licocare RBW 106 compared to the negative control tissues was 72%. Since the mean relative tissue viability for Licocare RBW 106 was above 50% after 15 minutes treatment it is considered to be non-irritant.

 

The positive control had a mean cell viability of 8% after 15 minutes exposure. The absolute mean OD570of the negative control tissues was within the laboratory historical control data range. The standard deviation value of the percentage viability of three tissues treated identically was less than 7%, indicating that the test system functioned properly.
