Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
no guideline available
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The Skin test was carried out as a patch test.
The chosen test site was inside of the forearm and the chosen test plasters were numbers 1000 and 1500 from the Beiersdorf Company, Hamburg.
The preparation to be tested was introduced at 50% diluted in olive oil (approx 1,0g) into the chamber of the plaster; this was fixed to the skin and removed after approx. 24 hours for assessment of the result.
The following observations were made in this assessment: Marking of the individual test sites - observation and evaluation, exclusion of reflex erythema.
The assessment was repeated after 24 hours on each subject.
GLP compliance:
no

Details on study design:
The Skin test was carried out as patch test.
The chosen test site was inside of the forearm and the chosen test plasters were numbers 1000 and 1500 from the Beiersdorf Company, Hamburg.
The preparation to be tested was introduced undiluted (approx 1,0g) into the chamber of the plaster; this was fixed to the skin and removed after approx. 24 hours for assessment of the result.
The following observations were made in this assessment: Marking of the individual test sites - observation and evaluation, exclusion of reflex erythema.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
In this skin test, 54 subjects of different skin types and different degrees of sensitivity were examined. A third of the subjects had very sensitive skin prone to dermatosis and eczema.
The preparation (SAFESTER A 75, 50% in Olive oil) examined showed no reaction.
This preparation has an excellent skin tolerance.
