Conclusions:
Not irritating
Executive summary:

Method

The substance has been tested for skin irritation according to the patch test technique, as described in the "Appraisal of the Safety of Chemicals in Foods, Drugs and Cosmetics" (1959) of the US Association of Food and Drug Officials (AFDO). 6 rabbits of the Russian were shaved one day before treatment with an electric clipper on the flanks and the shaved skin area on the left side was slightly scarified immediately before treatment. Test item was applied to each side in quantities of 0.5 g. Before application the test material was wetted with tap water. The gauze patches were removed 24 hours after application. The reaction of the skin was appraised upon removal during an observation period of 8 days.

Results

Under the conditions of the present experiment, the test preparation was found to cause none irritation when applied to intact and abraded rabbit skin. The substance does not cause any signs of irritation.
