Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Cocamidopropyl hydroxysultaine, as a 41.5% solution, is not considered a skin irritant.
Executive summary:

Cocamidopropyl hydroxysultaine, as a 41.5% solution, has been tested for acute skin irritation on 3 male New Zealand White rabbits, in accordance with OECD test guideline 404, and in compliance with Good Laboratory Practice.

The test article was applied as such in a single dermal dose of 0.5 mL to a shaved 6 cm² area of the intact skin, for 4 hours under a semi-occlusive dressing. Cutaneous examinations were performed at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after the dressing removal.

One hour after dressing removal, very slight erythema (grade 1) was observed in all animals. At examinations carried out 24 and 48 h after dressing removal, only one animal showed very slight erythema (grade 1).

No cutaneous reactions were observed in any of the animals at 72 hours after dressing removal.

Mean scores for erythema and edema (24, 48 and 72 hours after treatment) were 0, 0, 0.67 and 0, 0 and 0 in each animal, respectively.

 

Based on these results, Cocamidopropyl hydroxysultaine, as a 41.5% solution, was not considered a skin irritant.
