Glossary of
ingredients and terms |
Emu oil is almost 100% triglyceride lipid. Triglycerides (a type of fatty compound) are abundant in human skin lipids, making the fatty acids in human skin very similar to emu oil, thus improving absorption of emu oil into human skin. It is high in oleic acid, which increases its ability to carry compounds through the skin. It does not contain phospholipids, as many petroleum based lotions do. This absence of phospholipids makes emu oil highly penetrating and allows it to absorb through the skin more easily. Emu Oil contains 22 essential fatty acids, including Omega 3, 6, and 9. Used by Australian natives for thousands of years, emu oil is being discovered around the world for its moisturizing effects on itchy, scaly, super dry skin and its ability to enhance healing of burns and damaged skin, as well as it's natural anti-inflammatory effects on swelling and stiffness of joints, muscle pain and bruising. Emu Oil is also loaded with antioxidants which help to slow down the aging process and even in some cases to reverse it. |
