In a 48 hour patch test with 50 individuals, only one or two individuals had definite irritation. Approximately 30% had questionable irritation and the remainder showed no irritation.
Executive summary:

A human patch test of glycerine was conducted with 50 healthy Japanese males. Approximately 0.05 ml of a 50:50 (w:w) solution was applied to the upper back for 48 hours. At the end of the 48 -application period, the patch was removed and the test site examined 30 minutes later. In a 48 hour patch test with 50 individuals, approximately 3% had definite irritation. Approximately 30% had questionable irritation and the remainder showed no irritation.
