Polymers or other ingredients causing irritation?

Interesting results. If I get the article correctly, the irritation is attributed to the polymer in the Gel. Is it possible for authors to comment on why they believe the irritation is a result of polymer and not a response to preservative and other ingredients within the Acidform Gel?

The irritation could be due to any of the multiple ingredients present in the gel, including the acidic compounds, the preservative, the polymer thickeners or glycerin.
