Why Emu Oil
The Benefits of Emu Oil
How emu oil works with your skin, and what people use it for.
Emu oil is a fast-absorbing, deeply moisturizing oil with a long history as a simple skin care staple. It suits just about every skin type, and it does it with one ingredient and nothing else.
Willow Springs emu oil is 100% pure, AEA Certified, and fully refined through a natural, chemical-free process that keeps the full range of fatty acids intact. That is what gives it its distinctive feel and how readily it sinks into skin.
What Makes Emu Oil Different?
Pure emu oil is rich in omega-3, omega-6 and omega-9 fatty acids. That profile is close to the natural lipids in human skin, which is why it absorbs quickly instead of sitting on the surface. It also carries vitamins A and E, along with natural skin softeners called sapogens, which help skin look smoother and more even.
It is non-comedogenic, so it will not clog pores, and it is free from fragrance, fillers and additives. That makes it a straightforward choice for dry, sensitive, eczema-prone or acne-prone skin.
