Conclusions:
Under test conditions, the test substance was found to be non-irritating to rabbit skin.
Executive summary:

In a skin irritation study, undiluted ‘glycerides, C8-18 and C18-unsatd.’ (as coconut oil) was applied to the skin of 9 rabbits by means of a 24 h single-insult occlusive patch.

No irritation was observed after 24 h of treatment (PII = 0).

Under test conditions, the test substance was found to be non-irritating to rabbit skin.
