Sensitisation

Human patch tests

T. Fujii, S. Furukawa and S. Suzuki, 1972 (Yukugaku 21 (12) pg 904 -908).

In a closed human patch study the skin sensitizing potential of the test item was tested. The test was conducted with 7703 subjects suffering from dermatoses. The test item item was applicated to the upper inside of the arm. Ethanol 99% and a non-irritative cream base were used as vehicle. A concentration of 0.05 -0.5 % were applicated. Only in one subject erythema reactions were found. According to this result the test item can be considered as not sensitizing.

A 24 hour closed patch test was conducted on male and female volunteers. Test material was applied undiluted to an area on the inner arm of the subjects measuring 1 cm in diameter. Immediately following application, the area was covered with an adhesive bandage for 24 hours. Reactions were read daily for 5 days. No effects, no positive irritating reactions were observed in 23 tests.
