Emu Oil for Skin is a biological healing oil supplemented with anti-oxidants normally found in, but not derived from, human blood (such as leutin, lycopene, tocotrienols and tocopherols) to help reduce inflammation.
While lipid replenishment methods are still being developed by dermatological scientists, emu oil is already a very good natural oil for lipid replenishment. It comes from small ostrich-like bird, the emu.
Australian aborigines discovered the benefits of Emu Oil many thousands of years ago and used its helpful properties on damaged and sunburned skin. In more recent work, a study at Texas Tech reported that topically-applied Emu Oil reduces burn pain as effectively as when compared to 600 milligrams of Ibuprofen taken 3 times daily.
Skin researchers at the University of Texas Medical School in Houston reported that Emu Oil at up to 100 % concentration in lotions to be nonallergenic, non-comedogenic, have low irritation potential, and are bacteriostatic. While scientific studies on Emu Oil are just beginning, Emu Oil has been traditionally used help alleviate discomfort of arthritis, shingles, eczema, psoriasis and other inflammatory conditions.
Traditional skin moisturizers are formulated from a variety of low-cost oils and water-soluble chemicals (i.e. Hyaluronic Acid and Sodium PCA) that wet and loosen the skin's layer of outer protective proteins and also cover the skin with fats that impede water loss. This provides a brief moisturization of your skin but degrades the skin's protective properties against bacteria and viruses. Such moisturizing creams are a mixture of oil and water plus emulsifiers, stabilizers, preservatives and other chemicals. There is little evidence that such creams have any beneficial effect on skin.
Skin Biology has developed three skin moisturizers composed of biological oils to aid with skin moisturization but without causing skin damage. These are Emu Oil-S for Skin, Pure Squalane, and Calypso's Oil. Emu Oil-S for Skin is very similar in composition to human skin oils and acts to replenish skin lipids. Squalane/Squalene are the major lipids in human skin but decline from about 15% of fats in the skin to 5% by age 55. This decline is a key factor in a drier skin skin as we age. Calypso's Oil is a more protective oil originally designed for persons with eczema and composed of octyl palmitate, sesame oil, and sweet almond oil.
The supplements used in Emu Oil-S are Ubiquinone which helps skin energy metabolism, 7-keto DHEA which helps endogenous lipid synthesis in the skin, mixed natural tocotrienols and natural Vitamin E which are powerful anti-oxidants.

2 oz
Suggested Adult Use: Apply a light coating of Emu Oil to your skin or scalp. If your skin feels too oily, lightly wipe off excess oil with a tissue, enough will stick to your skin to be effective. If using Emu Oil with Folligen for hair, first apply the Folligen, then the Emu Oil. Or use the products on alternate days.
Emu Oil-S Lipid Replenisher also works as a great penetrating agent to control or moderate the strength of strong products.
Make Stronger: Apply a light amount of Emu Oil-S after applying copper-peptides to increase efficacy and make the cream/serum stronger. As it tries to go into the skin, when applied on top of SRCPs, it will help push down more of the copper-peptides, thus making it stronger.Make Milder: Apply a light amount of Emu Oil-S before applying copper-peptides to make the SRCPs milder. Basing the skin first with a light amount of Emu Oil-S will serve to slow down the penetration rate of the copper-peptide cream, thus making it milder.
Ingredients: Emu oil(distilled and refined), lycopene, tocophersolan (vitamin E), mixed (alpha, beta, gamma, delta) tocopherols, mixed (alpha, beta, gamma, delta) tocotrienols, ubiquinone (coenzyme Q-10), and xanthophyll (lutein). (We prefer to use pure lycopene though at times small brown/red flakes or particles may persist. This poses no danger to the skin).
Skin Biology only sells pure emu oil that is filtered three different times. Once slowly by low indirect heat to kill any bacteria & or contaminants. Then run twice through cheese cloth & clay which helps to make it the creamy off white in color and odorless. It is a cosmetic grade which can be taken by mouth or used topically on the skin as well. The shelf life is about one year. Meets All AGA & AFA Microbiological Qualities for Cosmetic & Topical Pharmaceutical Compliment To Medicine.
First Aid: ( Contact Poison Control Center if warranted.)
1. Eyes: Remove contact lens if used. Flush with water. If irritation develops, consult a physician.
2. Skin: Allergic reactions are rare. Should one develop, consult a physician.
3. Ingestion: Non toxic but nauseating. Do not drink.
Storage & Handling: Physically Emu Oil is creamy and white to off-white in color. It is semi-liquid (pourable) at room temperature but solidifies in a refrigerator. Our peroxide-free oil is stable at room temperature for 3 months. However, during very hot weather, it should be stored in a refrigerator to extend its life.
1. Store in cool/moderate temperature in original container.
2. Do not expose to direct sunlight or store near heat source.
3. Use in accordance with directions and do not mix or combine with any other product.
4. Can make surfaces slippery when wet. Wipe clean if spilled.
Spill & Leak: Material completely biodegradeable. Wash into septic or sanitary sewer or water.
Warning: Keep container tightly closed in a cool, dry and dark place. Keep out of reach of children.
