Abstract:Phototoxicity of bergamot oil in solar simulating radiation (SSR ≥ 290 nm) and in long ultraviolet radiation (LUV ≥ 320 nm) has been compared by studying photoaugmentation of erythema in the guinea pig after 24 h and pigmentary photoaugmentation in man on the 8th day. The results show that a close relationship exists between guinea pig and human responses, with both radiations used, and that man seems to be slightly more sensitive to phototoxic effects of bergamot oil than the guinea pig. This difference of se… Show more
