NOTES

The application site was occluded with Aluminium foil. Male Lister-Hooded Rats were used. More detail can be obtained from Mayo B, (1996) Study No: RIF 30/943257 (Research Institute for Fragrance Amterials Inc., USA. Skin absorption was assessed indirectly by combining the radioactivity recovers in the urine and faeces.
