Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- This Repeated Insult Patch Test revealed that linalool only induces faint, minimal erythema in 1 out of 117 and 119 human subjects assessed at second and third reading after challenge. The negative control saline had 5 positive responses, while the vehicle produced 2 positive responses in 117 subjects at second reading. Maximum effect observed in controls was erythema. No classification is required when considering the criteria outlined in Annex I of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
- Executive summary:
The senstiziting potential of 12.7% linalool was tested in this human Repeated Insult Patch Test (RIPT). Saline and the vehicle (1:3 EtOH:DEP) were used as control. The skin of 135 human subjects, 45 male and 90 female, was repeatedly exposed (induction, rest, challenge phase) to three patches containing all three substances. During induction, 9 applications of the substance were done in three weeks. Following a rest period of 2 weeks, a challenge was done by application of the same substance on the other side (previously untreated) of the back. Erythema and also edema were assessed and scored after every application period (induction and challenge). In the challenge phase, reactions were scored at 0, 24, 48 and 72 hours after removal of patch with test substance. 119 subjects completed the study (36 male and 83 female).
During induction phase 6 reactions were noted for saline, 4 reactions for linalool, and 2 reactions for the vehicle. All reactions were faint, minimal erythema. Linalool only induces slight erythema in one out of 117 and 119 subjects assessed at second and third reading after challenge. 5 reactions after challenge (faint, minimal erythema to erythema) were seen in the saline group. 2 reactions (faint, minimal erythema) were observed in the vehicle group. No difference in effects was observed between application of the test substance and the control substances. When considering the criteria outlined in Annex I of Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, linalool will not have to be classified as a sensitiser up to a concentration of 12.7%.
