Each year a number of consumers experience some type of adverse reaction to cosmetic products. So it is important to recognize the reactions from cosmetics that may be of a general nature and to determine the causative agents in the formulation.
In the present study, we performed patch test and photopatch test for the determination´ of irritancy, allergenicity, photoallergenicity, and phototoxicity of several cosmetics composed of usual cosmetic ingredients.
The results of the study which were performed in 100 volunteers with six cosmetics and one perfume are as follows;
1) The patch tests for irritancy and allergenicity of cosmetics were negative in 100 volunteers.
2) The photopatch test using perfume (0.3% )revealed positive response in one of 100 volunteers.
