Executive summary:

The aim was to evaluate the possible irritating effects of the test item after topical application on in vitro human reconstructed epidermis (SkinEthic RHE® model).

The test item was applied at the dose of 16 mg during 42 minutes to 3 living and 2 killed Reconstructed Human epidermis (SkinEthic RHE® model) previously moistened with 10 μL of distilled water. The application was followed by a rinse with 25 mL of DPBS and a 41 hours and 55 minutes post-incubation period at 37°C, 5% CO₂. Cell viability was then measured by enzymatic conversion of the vital dye MTT into a blue formazan salt that was quantitatively measured after extraction from tissues.

The experimental protocol was established in accordance with O.E.C.D. Test Guideline No. 439 adopted 28 July 2015 and the Test method B.46 of Council regulation No. 761/2009 dated 23 July 2009 (EU Journal L220) - ATP Council regulation No. 440/2008 of 30 May 2008 (E.U. Journal L142).

The mean corrected percent viability of the treated tissues was 80.2%, versus 1.7% in the positive control (5% Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate).

In accordance with the Regulation EC No. 1272/2008, the test item has to be considered as Non-irritant to skin. It corresponds to UN GHS No Category.

No hazard statement or signal word is required.
