Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
slightly irritating
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: expert judgment
Conclusions:
A 10% v/v aqueous solution of both samples was slightly irritating to the skin, under the conditions of this experiment.
Executive summary:

A primary skin irritation was carried out on 12 female subjects with Sample A (SC-154-52A)(containing 10% VARSULF SBU-185; 50% active) and Sample B (SC-154-52B)(containing 0% VARSULF SBU-185). Both samples were diluted to 10% v/v with distilled water. Each subject received 3 consecutive exposures to the test materials. Each exposure was for 24 hours under semi-occlusive conditions.

Under the conditions of this study, occasional cases of slight skin irritation were observed with 10% v/v aqueous solutions of both samples. This irritation was in form of minimal erythema with slight glazing over the patch site. One subject displayed a response of definite erythema with marked glazing. This reaction was observed 24 hours after removal of the third application patch. For each sample, it appears that the incidence of irritation increases with each application. Both samples, under the conditions of this study, appear to be mildly irritating to the skin.
