Safety data on single application of emu and macadamia nut oil on human skin

摘要

This data article provides the results of skin sensitization testing for emu and macadamia nut oil on 20 participants (ages 22–59 years old), including 3 men and 17 women. The test was carried out by performing a standard patch test using a Finn Chamber on Scanpor tape. The oils were applied to the participant's back using the tape and left in place for 24h. After 1- and 24-h from removal of the tape, the reaction of the participant's skin was judged based on a scoring method recommended by Japanese Patch Test Research Group. Results are shown in table format.
