Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Not phototoxic in guinea pigs
Executive summary:

The test material, 1,3-dimethyl-3-phenylbutyl acetate at 5% in vaseline was applied to the skin of 10 test animals and 5 additional animals received the vehicle as control. The treatment consisted of a dose of 0.5 g test material (or vehicle) along with suberythemal UV irradiation. Skin was observed for reactions 2, 24 and 48 hours after application.

No skin reactions were observed in any of the 10 treated animals.
