Emu Oil for Muscles & Joints

If you are looking into emu oil for muscles and joints, here is the honest version. Emu oil is not a medicine, and we do not make claims about pain or inflammation. What it is: a rich, fast-absorbing oil that makes a genuinely nice massage medium, which is why a lot of people reach for it after a workout or a long day on their feet.

Why it makes a good massage oil

Emu oil absorbs quickly and does not leave a heavy, greasy film, so it is easy to work into the skin over larger areas like shoulders, backs, legs and hands. Its fatty-acid profile is close to your skin's own lipids, so it sinks in rather than sitting on top. That combination, good slip while you massage and no greasy residue afterward, is what people like about it.

The warming option: Deep Heat cream

Our Deep Heat cream takes the same emu oil base and adds menthol and capsicum for a warming sensation during and after a massage. The warmth is sensory, the comforting kind of heat you get from a warming rub. Massage a small amount into the area and let the warmth build.

How to use

• Warm a small amount between your hands and massage into the area.
• Nice after activity, after a workout, or before bed as part of winding down.
• A little goes a long way; reapply as you like.
• With the Deep Heat cream, start with a small amount to gauge the warmth, and keep it away from the eyes and broken skin.

A note on what this is

Emu oil and our Deep Heat cream are cosmetics, not medicines. They are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any condition, and we do not make claims about pain, inflammation or arthritis. If you are dealing with an ongoing joint or muscle concern, please talk to your healthcare provider.
