Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not sensitizing
Conclusions:
The test material Menthone (CAS no: 89-80-5) was considered to be not sensitizing to the skin of human volunteers .
Executive summary:

A Human maximisation test was carried out in 25 volunteers to determine skin sensitization potential caused by the chemicalMenthone (CAS no: 89-80-5).

 

Each subject was treated with 8% of Menthone in petrolatum dermally and later observed for any signs of contact allergy.

None of the volunteer showed any signs of contact sensitization. Hence the chemical Menthone (CAS no: 89-80-5) wasconsidered to be not sensitizing to theskin of human volunteers.
