Vitamin E occurs naturally in emu oil. Pure emu oil has anti-inflammatory properties and is known for its penetrating ability. The ability to penetrate the skin is brought about by the high levels of oleic acid.
Many massage therapists and chiropractors use Emu Oil because it gets into the muscles and relaxes them before treatment, which in turn makes the results of the treatment last longer.
Apart from being used in the pure form Emu Oil is also used in the cosmetic and medical fields. Emu Oil is a good emulsifier - it has the ability to blend oil and water together and produce a cream that does not feel oily on the skin.
Another property of Emu Oil is that it is bacteriostatic. Tests show that in its pure state, Emu Oil grows no bacterial organisms. For this reason pure non-contaminated Emu Oil has a long shelf life.
Emu Oil has a low potential for irritation of the skin. At full strength Emu Oil has irritation levels so low that they are the same as those found in putting water on the skin i.e. almost non-existent.
Emu Oil does not clog the pores of your skin and leaves no greasy residue.
Much research is still being done on Emu Oil all over the world.
