Route of administration:
dermal
Details on study design:
Closed patch applications with the test material in petrolatum were made to the same site on the volunteers´forearms for 5 alternate day 48-hour periods.
Patch sites were pretreated with 5 % sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS) for 24 hours.
Following a 10 day rest period, challenge patches were applied to fresh sites under occlusion for 48 hours and the challenge sites were pretreated for 1 hour with 10 % SLS under occlusion.
The sites were read at patch removal (48 h) and 48 h after patch removal (72 h).

Results and discussion

Results of examinations:
According to the authors, no sensitization effects were seen when using 2 % of the test material.
In the 48-hour closed patch test, performed prior to the human maximization study, no irritating effects were observed using 2 % of the test material.
