Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- The incidence of positive reactions in patients with existing dermatitis was low . The highest incidence (3%) was seen in a study of 585 eczema patients. In two large studies (3109 and 1825 allergy patients), the incidence of positive reactions was lower (0.19% and 0.4%).
- Executive summary:
In a review of MeS as a fragrance ingredient (Lapczynski et al, 2007), summaries are reported of 12 publications describing diagnostic studies on dermatitis patients, using several internationally-approved patch testing protocols. The test concentration of MeS was generally 2% in petrolatum.
