Results and discussion

Results of examinations:
SYMPTOMS
- Frequency, level, duration of symptoms observed: The plaster was removed after 24 hours and the test area was assessed. Further assessments were carried out after 48 and 72 hours.

- Number of subjects with irritating reactions: 0

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The epidermal test was used to assess primary skin irritation caused by Polyglycerin-3 in 50 volunteers. Test substance was applied to the clinically intact skin. The patch was removed after 24 hours and the test area was evaluated. Evaluations were repeated after 48 and 72 hours.
No positive or doubtful results were recorded after 48 and 72 hours. The test did not provide any indication for a primary skin irritation or for the triggering of already existing allergy to Polyglycerin-3.
