Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess whether a medical-grade Norway spruce resin-based topical product (Abilar) causes skin irritation or allergic sensitization in healthy adult volunteers. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does the product cause skin irritation after repeated applications? Does the product induce sensitization (allergic contact dermatitis) after repeated exposure?

Participants will:

Have the test product applied to their skin via occlusive patches multiple times over three weeks.

Undergo dermatological assessments for signs of erythema (redness), swelling, or sensitization at scheduled time points.

Have a final challenge application on a new skin site after a rest period to check for delayed allergic reactions.

This study follows Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines and the Declaration of Helsinki. It was conducted at Princeton Consumer Research (PCR Corp, UK) with approval from the East Anglia Ethics Committee, UK.
