FAQ's

What is an Emu?
The emu is a large flightless bird related to the ostrich that is indigenous to Australia and now farmed in Australia, Canada, Europe and the United States. For thousands of years the native Aborigines used the liquid emu fat as a skin moisturizer, antiseptic and aid to relieve muscular aches and joint discomfort.

How Does Emu Oil Work?
Basically Emu Oil has two primary characteristics that make it useful.
Emu Oil is a naturally powerful "trans dermal carrier" which means that it penetrates the skin with great efficiency. Secondly, it has natural anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, healing, moisturizing and non-comedogenic (will not clog pores) properties.

Several factors allow Emu Oil to effectively penetrate the skin. Emu Oil is a rich source of essential fatty acids, Omega-3, 6, and 9. First, the fatty acid properties of Emu Oil are very similar to that of humans. In addition, the monounsaturated fatty acid, oleic acid is the major fatty acid found in Emu Oil. Clinical research has shown that properly rendered Emu Oil penetrates the skin even more effectively than oleic acid by itself.

The benefits of the fatty acids found in Emu Oil are not limited to their deep penetrating ability. Oleic acid is also known to serve as a local anti-inflammatory. Additionally, linolenic acid, the second most abundant fatty acid in Emu Oil, has been shown to ease muscle and joint discomfort.

Is Emu Oil Safe?
The incredible healing properties possessed by emu oil and its unsurpassed ability to penetrate the skin seem almost too good to be true. The natural question arises, “Is Emu Oil safe?” The answer is “YES”. Further scientific inquiry has shown that properly rendered emu oil, so closely resembling the oil in human skin, is absolutely hypoallergenic. It has “the allergic potential to water”.
