T/HPCIA 006-2021 Cosmetics irritation test using zebrafish embryos
Basic Information
Scope
Scope: This standard specifies the methodological principles and operating procedures for evaluating the mild irritancy of cosmetics using zebrafish embryo experiments. This standard applies to the evaluation of the mild irritancy of cosmetics (creams, lotions, gels, essences, etc.) and cosmetic raw materials; Main technical content: Using a 24-well cell culture plate, under the conditions of a blank control or a positive control, the 24-hour post-fertilization (hpf) zebrafish embryos are placed in different samples and observed under a stereomicroscope (within 5 minutes). Based on the mild irritancy response of the embryos to the test samples (the irritation swing of the embryos and the coagulation (death) situation), the number of embryo irritation swings (the movement of the yolk sac position) and the number of embryo deaths (coagulation) are recorded, characterizing the mild irritancy of the samples.
