Emu oil is obtained from birds belonging to the ostrich family during processing. They typically live in Australia. The oil is extracted from the oil mass located on the back of the bird.
Emu oil has extraordinary properties. It consists mainly of polyunsaturated fatty acids , oleic acid and omega 9, and saturated fatty acids - palmitic acid, stearic acid, miristic acid, arachidonic acid, gadoleic acid. It is also rich in vitamins A, E and F.
It has been proven that emu oil is a powerful deep tissue agent and its positive qualities go far beyond benefiting surface layers of the skin. The oil has a broad spectrum of uses because of its anti- inflammatory, anti-bacterial and anti-allergic properties. Emu oil regenerates cellular activity and does not block pores.
It can be used for:
• Reducing inflammation connected to acne, dermatitis, eczema and psoriasis;
• Reducing inflammation and swelling of muscles and joints , relieving arthritis pain;
• Healing of scars and burns;
• Protecting against stretch marks;
• Moisturizing dry and cracked skin;
• Reducing the appearance of stretch marks;
• Activating hair follicles on scalp to stimulate hair growth;
• Massage in chronic muscle pain and long-term injuries.
Emu oil combines well with other products due to its deep tissue penetration qualities. It works in balance with aloe, pomegranate oil, rose hip oil, shea butter, castor oil, seaweed and marine collagen, coconut oil, vitamins A, E, D and glucosamine. It blends successfully with other oils and water without leaving greasy residue on skin and scalp.
