Results
Irritation parameter:
overall irritation score
Basis:
mean
Time point:
14 d
Reversibility:
fully reversible within: 24 hours
Remarks on result:
no indication of irritation
Irritant / corrosive response data:
Erythema was the only effect observed which lasted only for 24 hours.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not irritating
Conclusions:
Erythema was the only effect observed which lasted only for 24 hours. Since the effects were reversible after 24 hours, Cinnamyl butyrate can be considered to be not irritating to rabbit skin.
Executive summary:

The acute dermal irritation of cinnamyl butyrate was evaluated as a part of the acute dermal LD50 study. 4 rabbits were received a single dermal application of 5000mg/kg of cinnamyl butyrate for 24 hours under occlusive conditions. Observations were made for 14 days.

Erythema was the only effect observed which lasted only for 24 hours. Since the effects were reversible after 24 hours, Cinnamyl butyrate can be considered to be not irritating to rabbit skin.
