Eye irritation, primary skin irritation and skin sensitization tests for Aloewhite were tested in New Zealand White rabbits and Hartley guinea pig. In primary skin irritation test of male New Zealand White rabbits, body weights were not significantly changed and Primary Irritation Index (PII) was O.47, indicating Aloewhite as mildly irritating material. In ocular irritation test, any injury on iris, conjunctival membrane, and cornea in New Zealand White rabbits was not observed. No injuries of the ocular mucous membrane were also recorded. Skin sensitization was tested in guinea pig after intradermal and epicutaneous induction and graded 1 with zero % sensitization rate. These results indicate that Aloewhite was not considered to be irritant in test organs of animals.

-Acute oral and subcutaneous toxicity of Aloewhite(30% aloesine) were carried out in ICR mice. In this study, we daily examined number of deaths, clinical signs, body weights, and pathological examinations for 14 days after single oral and subcutaneous administration of Aloewhite with different dose levels. Aloewhite did not show any remarkable toxic effect in mice. These results suggest that oral and subcutaneous LD$\sub$50/ values in mice were over 6.8g/kg and 10g/kg, respectively.
