The
EpiDerm Phototoxicity Test identified as phototoxic
BO AROMA in oil, BO SIGMA and BO SCHUPP
in both water and sesame oil (Figure 1a - h). No
phototoxicity was proved for BO AROMA in water
and BO BIOMEDICA in both water and sesame oil.
Subsequent human photopatch tests employed the
highest non-phototoxic/non-cytotoxic concentrations
obtained in the EpiDerm Skin Phototoxicity
Test. From all the tested samples, the potential of
phototoxicity was identified in vivo only for BO
SIGMA and BO SCHUPP diluted in water (Table 4).
