Skin Irritability, Skin Sensitisation
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to prove the product tested does not cause photoirritation or photosensitization reactions when exposed to sun light.
Interventions
All the volunteers will receive the application of four dressings (3 placebos and 1 containing the tested product). After a certain period of time, photoirritation and photosensitization will be measured through the evaluation of tested region.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Photoirritation as measured through the use of dressings containing tested product and placebo | 5 days | The photoirritation will be measured with the use of four dressings that will be applied in the volunteer (3 dresssings containing different placebos and 1 containing the product). After some hours, the region is evaluated and radiated with UVA. That procedure occurs during the period of five days. |
| Photosensitization as measured through the use of dressings containing tested product and placebo | 32 days | The photosensitization will be measured with the use of four dressings that will be applied in the volunteer (3 dresssings containing different placebos and 1 containing the product). After some hours, the region is evaluated and radiated with UVA. That procedure occurs during the period of 32 days. |
