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 24 h. 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. Keywords: Emu, Macadamia nut, Safety, Patch test
