Subjects:
- Number of subjects exposed: 32
- Sex: unspecified
- Age: 18 +
Clinical history:
- Other: stated healthy, no further information provided
Controls:
Vehicle (petrolatum) and SLS controls were placed on the left and on the right.
Route of administration:
dermal
Details on study design:
TYPE OF TEST(S) USED: patch test (epicutaneous test)
Human maximization test

ADMINISTRATION
- Type of application: occlusive, 5 alternate-day 48-hour periods
- Vehicle / solvent: Petrolatum
- Concentrations: 4%
- Dermal load: 2760 µg/cm2
- Testing/scoring schedule: Following a 10- to 14-day rest period, a challenge patch of the test material was applied to a fresh site for 48 hours under occlusion
- Other: The patch sites were pretreated for 24 hours with 5% aqueous SLS under occlusion for the initial patch only. Prior to the challenge, 5% SLS was applied to the test sites for 30 minutes under occlusion on the left side of the back, while the test materials were applied without SLS treatment on the right side.
