Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not irritating
Conclusions:
d-carvone was not irritating to humans after 48 hours exposure.
Executive summary:

A skin irritation study was performed in humans to assess the irritation potential of d-carvone. d-carvone was tested 2% in petrolatum human volunteers in a 48 hours closed patch test. d-carvone was not irritating to humans after 48 hours exposure.
