Test animals

Species:
other: human

Test system

Type of coverage:
occlusive
Preparation of test site:
other: scratched
Vehicle:
other: Petrolatum
Controls:
yes, concurrent negative control
Amount / concentration applied:
Amount: 0.1 ml, Concentration: 0.1% and 0.5%
Duration of treatment / exposure:
24h, for 3 days
Number of animals:

Details on study design:
The test material was applied on Day 1, Day 2, and Day 3 on the same scarified skin site on the forearm of each participant. After each 24 h of contact, the test material was removed. 30 min after each removal, the skin site was examined and graded.An identical procedure was conducted concurrently using physiological saline on an additional site.
