Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Under test conditions, 8.97% fully hydrogenated cottonseed oil was found to be non-irritating to rabbit skin.
Executive summary:

In a skin irritation study, a single occlusive patch containing 8.97% fully hydrogenated cottonseed oil was applied to nine rabbits. Sites were evaluated for erythema and edema at 2 and 24 h after exposure. The maximum possible irritation index (PII) score was 8.

The PII of the formulation was found to be 0.06.

Under test conditions, 8.97% fully hydrogenated cottonseed oil was found to be non-irritating to rabbit skin.
