Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not irritating
Conclusions:
4-methoxyphenylacetone was not irritating to human skin after 48 hours exposure.
Executive summary:

A skin irritation study was performed on humans to assess the irritation potential of 4-methoxyphenylacetone. 4-methoxyphenylacetone 4% in petrolatum was tested on human volunteers in a 48 hours closed patch test. The volunteers were observed for signs of irritation. 4-methoxyphenylacetone was not irritating to human skin after 48 hours exposure.
