Test material

Constituent 1
Reference substance name:
Lanolin, hydrogenated
EC Number:
232-452-1
EC Name:
Lanolin, hydrogenated
Cas Number:
8031-44-5
Molecular formula:
UVCB: not available
IUPAC Name:
Lanolin, wool wax, hydrogenated

Method

Ethical approval:
not specified
Details on study design:
14 subjects age 24-44 years participated (voluntarily) in this study. The substance was melted by using bain-marie.
The tested site was controlled after 24 and 48 hours by the same doctor and possible skin reactions such as erythema were noted (as present or absent).
Exposure assessment:
not specified
Details on exposure:
For the application of the substance, a gauze of 4 cm2 was soaked with appr. 25 grams of the melted substance, and once cooled, it was applied on the palm. This gauze was then covered by another bigger gauze and it was fixed on the palm witn a patch tape.

Results and discussion

Results:
No evidence of dermal intolerance of the substance was noted. None of the subjects complained for itching or any other indications of intolerance.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The test material is tolerable by the human volunteers.
Executive summary:

The substance was evaluated for its dermal tolerability on human volunteers. For this reason, 14 subjects age 24 -44 years were subjected to a dermal application of the test substance on the palm. The tested site was controlled after 24 and 48 hours by the same doctor and possible skin reactions such as erythema were noted (as present or absent).

No evidence of dermal intolerance of the substance was noted. None of the subjects complained for itching or any other indications of intolerance.

The test material is tolerable by the human volunteers.
