Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not sensitising
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- According to maximization test, the chemical Geranyl butyrate (CAS No.106-29-6) was considered to be non-sensitizing to human volunteers.
- Executive summary:
Skin sensitization test was conducted on 25 volunteers for test chemical Geranyl butyrate (CAS No.106-29-6) via human maximization test.
In this test, the material was tested at a concentration of 4% in petrolatum on 25 volunteers and then skin reactions were observed.
The test material failed to induce skin sensitizing effects on 25 volunteers. Hence the test chemicalGeranyl butyrate (CAS No.106-29-6) was considered to be not sensitizing on skin of humans.
