Doses / concentrations
Remarks:
Doses / Concentrations:
neat test material
Basis:

No. of animals per sex per dose:
3 animals (not further specified)
Control animals:
other: the left ears remained untreated and served as control

Examinations

Examinations:
Observations of grossly appearing enlarged pores and hyperkeratosis (comedones) were made daily. At study termination, biopsies were made of the ears, the slides were stained with H&E, and the extent of hyperkeratosis of sebaceous follicles was determined and compared to the control samples.

Results and discussion

Details on results:
Gross observation: Increasing pore size was noted.
Histological examination: Mild irritation was observed, but no changes relating to comedogenicity were noted.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
This test article shows no evidence for comedogenic potential under the conditions of this test.
