Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The dermal LD50 of Anthemis nobilis, ext., (Chamomile oil) in rabbits was > 5 g/kg bw.
Executive summary:

The acute dermal toxicity of Anthemis nobilis, ext. (Chamomile oil), was evaluated using 4 rabbits [unspecified strain; unspecified sex ratio]. The rabbits were administered a single dose of 5 g/kg bw, and were then observed for 14 days. There were no mortalities. The dermal LD50 was reported to be > 5 g/kg bw.
