Description of key information
Additional information
The potential comedogenic effect of 3,5,5-trimethylhexyl 3,5,5-trimethylhexanoate (CAS 59219-71-5) was evaluated in rabbits in a study performed using a test protocol based on Kligman, A.M. and Kwong T. (Brit J Dermatology 1979) and under GLP conditions (Bouffechoux, 1998). 0.1 mL of the undiluted test substance was applied to the internal base of one ear of 6 male rabbits for 5 days/week during 2 consecutive weeks. The other ear of each rabbit remained untreated and served as control. After exposure ended, the epidermis of the treated and control skin areas was separated from underlying tissue and stained with Sudan Red III. The tissue was mounted on slides and examined microscopically; whereby the skin integrity, number of follicles and number of comedones was assessed. The comedogenicity scores for the individual animals' treated ear were 1.24, 2.63, 4.40, 2.13, 4.95 and 1.07, respectively. The mean score was 2.72 (on a scale from 0 - > 7), indicating a slight comedogenic potential. For the control ears, all the scores were 0. No skin irritation was noted at the test sites at the end of the study period.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
