The assessment of skin
irritancy and corrosivity is important for chemicals that may be dermally applied or for occupational exposure by this route.
For example, betaines are excellent secondary surfactants most often used in combination with SLES; they help to enhance the performance and foam aesthetics and reduce the
irritancy of the primary sulfate-based component.
Ulmer specifically called attention to the efforts of the European Centre for the Validation of Alternative Methods (ECVAM) to approve as many non-animal eye and skin
irritancy test methods as possible over the next two to three years.
* NEW Glucamate(TM) VLT thickener is a naturally derived associative thickener that reduces surfactant
irritancy while producing superior thickening and a rich, creamy lather.
This naturally derived associative thickener reduces surfactant
irritancy while producing superior thickening and a rich, creamy lather, according to the company.
They are able to avoid the potential adverse effects associated with classic emulsifiers, such as
irritancy.
The Irritection Assay System (ocular & dermal
irritancy applications), Corrositex (determination of non-corrosive as well as corrosive with GHS categories 1A,B,C & UN Packing Group assignments 1,2,3 and non-corrosive); and Consultation using our 30+ year test results experience base for either technology.
The chick chorioallantoic membrane imaging method as a platform to evaluate vasoactivity and assess
irritancy of compounds.
These can be very helpful for patients who cannot tolerate alpha hydroxy acids because
irritancy levels of salicylic acid are lower compared with AHAs.
The blinded and placebo controlled trial, examining the drug's potential to cause dermal irritation, demonstrated that XF-73 in aqueous solution, at high concentrations, when applied daily for five days to intact and abraded skin (by tape stripping), has a similar
irritancy potential to water under occluded (covered) conditions in a shorter version of an industry standard cumulative
irritancy dermal safety study.
While living up to that is a source of
irritancy in Washington, that itself cannot be a reason to undermine Nato's unity.
Dunnick observed that shampoos are a common source of contact dermatitis and that alkyl glucosides and mild surfactants, which generally have low
irritancy, are frequent culprits as well.
