Results and discussion

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

A review of dermal sensitisation of Hexyl Salicylate was conducted. Cross sensitization reactions in humans who were induced with 30% hexyl salicylate and challenged with 15% benzyl salicylate (both substances dissolved in 3: 1 DEP:ethanol) have reportedly been observed.
