Results
Irritation parameter:
overall irritation score
Basis:
mean
Time point:
24 h
Reversibility:
fully reversible within: 24 hours
Remarks on result:
positive indication of irritation
Irritant / corrosive response data:
Slight transient conjunctivitis with unaffected corneas was observed which resolved within 24 hours

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not irritating
Conclusions:
Slight transient conjunctivitis with unaffected corneas was observed which resolved within 24 hours. Hence, l-carvone can be considered to be not irritating to eyes after 24 hours of exposure.
Executive summary:

An eye irritation study was performed in rabbits to assess the irritation potential of l-carvone.

10% l-carvone in Tween 80 was instilled into the eyes of 3 New Zealand white rabbits and observed for signs of irritation till 24 hours.Slight transient conjunctivitis with unaffected corneas was observed which resolved within 24 hours.

 Hence, l-carvone can be considered to be not irritating to eyes after 24 hours of exposure.
