WHAT IS EMU OIL?
For thousands of years the aboriginal people of the Australian outback have used oil derived from emus, a large, flightless bird, to soothe minor aches, reduce fevers, and wound care. These qualities were largely unknown in the West until 1992 when LB Processors, LLC began recognizing the potential for a product that could help address many everyday skincare concerns.
By this point LB Processors had perfected its custom-designed, all-natural process to refine the oil. After harvesting the emu, the fat is refined to remove impurities. The result is emu oil, which is approximately 70% unsaturated fatty acids. Emu oil fatty acids are 50% oleic fatty acid (Omega-9), 15-20% linoleic fatty acid (Omega-6), and 1-2% linolenic fatty acid (Omega-3). Since emu oil is low on soaps (formed by free fatty acids), harsh chemicals are not required in processing. This ensures a natural, stable, and odorless finished product. We now produce a variety of products that bring the benefits of emu oil to you.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF EMU OIL?
Emu oil contains a complete spectrum of essential fatty acids (EFAs). Omega-3, 6 and 9 are not produced naturally in our bodies and must be obtained through food or dietary supplement. EFAs are a natural part of the cell’s lining and play a part in almost every function of our body. Some of emu oil’s many benefits include:
- Natural source of moisture and nourishment
- Non-comedogenic – doesn’t clog pores
- Hypoallergenic – works well for those with sensitive skin
WHAT ARE THE USES OF EMU OIL?
Since it absorbs into skin so effectively and doesn’t clog pores, many customers use emu oil to help promote healthy looking skin that has been affected by exposure to environmental elements. Others use emu oil because its moisturizing and nourishing properties help maintain a youthful appearance as well as soothing dry, cracked skin.
Many customers and tattoo artists have found that it is useful as aftercare product for tattoos or piercings because of it’s non-comedogenic properties.
Pet owners use emu oil for dogs to reduce hot spots and relieve skin irritations because of its all-natural and non-toxic qualities.
