Spontaneous oxidation of terpenes in presence of air to form sensitising hydroperoxides was a potential risk highlighted by the SCCS opinion and investigated within IDEA. Over these six years many additional studies were published by dermatologists on patch test data and potential elicitation by hydroperoxides.
In parallel IDEA developed, validated and applied analytical methods for hydroperoxide detection in products. These two parallel information streams do not yet match up and it is unclear how the clinical picture can be related to the analytical data.
The workshop brings together experts helping to interpret the data and define potential next steps to resolve this conundrum. Experts were invited to provide their view of the issue and include in their presentation a discussion of questions listed below, as far as they have a view on them.
