Skin Sensitivity Results: Repeat Insult Patch Test
Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the potential for inducing skin irritancy with Avant Original Instant Hand Sanitizer.
Method: Fifty-three healthy subjects were involved in the study. The induction phase included five patch applications of Avant Original worn for forty-eight or seventy-two hours each. A rest phase followed for forty-eight hours. Finally, in the challenge phase, patch applications were again worn for forty-eight and seventy-two hours followed by scoring for reactions indicative of skin irritation.
Results: There was no evidence suggesting that Avant Original Instant Hand Sanitizer has a potential for contact sensitization or skin irritation.
