Conclusions:
Authors suggested that dioctyl maleate is an allergen or skin sensitizer in humans.
Executive summary:

A 62-year old woman with a history of severe intermittent facial dermatitis including itchy, burning sensation and oedema was reported. A patch testing was conducted to individual ingredients of the moisturizing lotion containing 2, 5, and 10% of dioctyl maleate in petrolatum. Patch testing showed positive reaction to dioctyl maleate at all concentrations. Control patients with petrolatum were negative. Authors suggested that dioctyl maleate was a skin sensitizer.
