The Benefits of Emu Oil

Valued for thousands of years by Australian Aboriginal communities, emu oil has been used as a natural remedy to soothe and protect the skin. Today, it’s recognized worldwide for its deeply moisturizing, anti-inflammatory, and skin-supportive properties.

Sourced from the flightless Australian emu, the oil is extracted from the thick fat pad on the bird’s back; a natural adaptation that protects it from extreme heat and injury. This fat is carefully refined to remove bacteria, proteins, and impurities, resulting in a 100% pure, fully refined oil that’s safe, clean, and naturally beneficial for the skin and body.

What Makes Emu Oil Special?

Pure emu oil is rich in:

  • Omega fatty acids (3, 6, and 9) – to nourish and protect the skin barrier
  • Vitamins A & E – for skin renewal and antioxidant support
  • Sapogens – to soften skin and improve texture and tone

It’s non-comedogenic, hypoallergenic, and free from additives, antibiotics, hormones, and steroids, making it ideal for even the most sensitive skin.

Emu Oil Benefits:

Thanks to its unique composition and ability to deeply penetrate the skin, emu oil offers a wide range of everyday and targeted skincare benefits. Whether you're dealing with dryness, sensitivity, or signs of aging, it’s a gentle and effective addition to any routine.

  • Deeply moisturizes dry, damaged, or sun-exposed skin
  • Soothes irritation, redness, and itching
  • Can be used on cuts, scrapes, burns, eczema, and rashes
  • Helps improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks, and fine lines
  • Supports joint and muscle comfort with regular application
  • Safe for use on babies, breastfeeding nipples, and sensitive areas

Clinical studies and traditional use both point to emu oil’s ability to increase cell activity and skin regeneration, helping support overall skin health and tone over time.
