Skin sensitisation

Currently viewing:

Administrative data

Endpoint:
skin sensitisation: in vivo (non-LLNA)
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
study well documented, meets generally accepted scientific principles, acceptable for assessment
Justification for type of information:
The substance is intended for use only in cosmetics and has been tested on humans in a patch test.
This class of polyolefin substance is well documented and in line with other non-aromatic white oils, their use in medicinal and cosmetic use is well documented.

Day(s)/duration:
9 applications of 3 weeks
Adequacy of induction:
highest technically applicable concentration used
Challenge
No.:
#1
Route:
epicutaneous, semiocclusive
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Concentration / amount:
Undiluted material applied to patches and held in place 48 hours
Day(s)/duration:
2
Adequacy of challenge:
highest non-irritant concentration
No. of animals per dose:
59 completed the study
Details on study design:
Induction Period: The applications were performed on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, during 3 consecutive weeks. Forty-eight hours
(48h), or 72h (on weekends), after the product application, it was removed by trained technicians and the application site was assessed in order to check the presence of possible clinical signs.
Rest Period: After the induction there was a minimum 10 day-period when no product was applied to the study subjects' back.
Challenge Test: Then, the challenge period started. One single application of the investigational product was carried, followed by readings after 48h
and 72h of the product being attached to the subjects' dorsum.
The dermatological clinical assessment was made in the beginning and end
of the study and the subjects were supervised by a dermatologist throughout
the study.
Positive control substance(s):
no

Remarks on result:
no indication of skin sensitisation

Any other information on results incl. tables

Some subjects presented irritation after the continuous exposure of the skin to the adhesive tape (adhesive plaster), probably due to individual predisposition, and for this reason the applications were interrupted and their data not used in the study.
