Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To evaluate eye irritation potential of different shampoos and facial creams using human cornea-like epithelial tissue model BioOcular
TM ET
50 method
in vitro.
METHODS Different shampoos and facial creams were tested in eye irritation ET
50 test with reconstructed human cornea-like epithelial tissue model BioOcular
TM in vitro, distinguish eye irritation levels of different formulations.
RESULTS Under the same condition, shampoos and facial creams showed irritation at various levels in ET
50 test with reconstructed cornea-like epithelial tissue model. Also different ingredients and different brand of shampoos showed different degrees of irritation.
CONCLUSION It is a quick alternative way to use ET
50 method to evaluate the irritation of different cosmetics and ingredients with reconstructed human cornea-like epithelial tissue model BioOcular
TM in vitro.
