Brief Summary

|

Patch test - This test is performed to assess the dermal safety of test products involved in the

trial. It is a technique used to determine the potential of specific substances to cause irritancy

of the skin. Irritants are substances that damage the skin by direct toxic action. The damage

will depend upon the nature of the irritant, its concentration, and duration of exposure.



Irritation is manifested as inflammatory responses such as erythema (redness), oedema

(swelling), vesiculation and finally to an intense suppurative reaction without the involvement

of immune system.

In general, patches are applied for a contact period of 24 hours, and skin reaction is assessed

under a constant artificial daylight source and the marked site is scored post 24 hours after the

removal of the patches. Reactions such as erythema, dryness and wrinkling are then scored.



Results:

The study was completed and No adverse events were reported during the study.
