Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: mild irritant
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Skin irritation tests performed by the method of Standard Draize test,75 mg of Stearic acid applied to the skin of human subjects for 3 days where the dosage of stearic acid was given intermittently, resulted in a mild irritation effect." The substance Stearic acid is thus considered "mildly irritating."
