Details on test material:
- Name of test material (as cited in study report): sorbitan sesquioleate

Method

Ethical approval:
not specified
Details on study design:
The volunteers were patch tested (Finn Chambers on Scanpor tape) with the test substance (10% in petrolatum) for 2 days. Reactions were read at 2, 3 and 4 days. Doubtful reactions were not considered positive.

Results and discussion

Results:
One patient had a (+) reaction to the test substance and two other patients a (++) reaction. Of the healthy volunteers, no positive reaction was seen in the control group of 10 healthy subjects.
