Abstract Subjects (51) allergic to wool wax alcohols were tested with 13 wool wax derivatives. The rate of allergy to the highly purified wool wax derivatives aqualose L-75, golden fleece wool wax type RA as well as type ELP was < 10%. Epidermal tests with aliphatic wool wax alcohols established 78 reactions whereby in 34 cases reaction grade 2+ and 3+ could be observed. Lauryl alcohol reacted in 9 cases and oleyl alcohol in 7 cases with reaction grade 2+ and 3+. Of the test collective 23.5% showed reactions to Lanette N (mixture of cetylstearyl alcohols). Subjects allergic to wool wax alcohols reacted considerably more frequently to perservatives or stabilizers like diaminodiphenylmethane, chloroacetamide, benzoic acid and nipa esters than eczematic subjects. Fatty alcohols of the different wool wax derivatives were determined quantitatively by gas chromatography.
