Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not sensitizing
Conclusions:
The test material failed to induce skin sensitizing effects on 25 volunteers. Hence, Geranyl propionate was considered to be not sensitizing to human skin.
Executive summary:

Skin sensitization test was conducted on 25 human volunteers to assess the dermal sensitization potential of Geranyl propionate.

Geranyl propionate 4% in petrolatum was applied on the skin of 25 human volunteers and then observed for dermal reactions (duration not mentioned).

The test material failed to induce skin sensitizing effects on 25 volunteers. Hence, Geranyl propionate was considered to be not sensitizing to human skin.
