Human safety evaluations begin with the specific ingredients, and then move on to the whole product. The effects for all ingredients are considered as the product is formulated. Human safety-related data for a chemical used in a detergent or soap product (or in another type of consumer product), and for an entire formulation, can come from in silico data (from computer programs that estimate toxic properties based on data for similar chemicals, and/or from the physical chemical properties of the chemical of interest), in vitro data (from the results of alternatives to animal tests, e.g., from cell cultures used to assess eye or skin irritation potential), animal (toxicological) studies (e.g., to assess eye or skin irritation potential), and human data (examples are discussed below).
