ABOUT EMU GOLD
The emu is a flightless, prehistoric bird native to Australia. In the 1990s, ostrich and emus became popular as an investment that promised to diversify existing farming operations. Tom and Sharon Phelps invested in the emus in Plasterville, California as a business venture, selling birds, chicks and eggs. Scott Jordan, a farmer, purchased two birds from the Phelps and discovered over time that the oil helped his rosacea, which inspired him to create the Emu Gold brand in 1995.
At the heart of every Emu Gold product is a gift discovered years ago by the Australian Aborigines. They cherished its health-giving properties and the bird was at the core of their culture, providing them with meat, feathers and leather. The Aborigines used the oil as “bush medicine.”
Today, many people with sensitive skin or with a low tolerance for skin care products have found that Emu Gold provides a natural approach to skin care and appreciate its remarkable soothing qualities. The oil provides exceptional moisturizing and nourishing properties without clogging pores.
EMU OIL FAQ'S
What is emu oil and where does it come from?
Emu oil is a natural, omega rich oil refined from the fat, a food co-product obtained when the bird is processed for its lean red meat.
Why is Fully Refined Emu Oil important?
This Fully Refined designation or specification for pure emu oil is primarily for the safety of the consumer. If moisture is above the 0.10% level, bacteria will have a tendency to grow. By removing the peroxide and free fatty acids, other contamination components will be removed, for example; hormones, toxic metals, pesticides, viruses and infections (e-coli, salmonella for example that may have contaminated the raw material at the animal processing plants). By testing certain fatty acids it can be verified that the oil is truly emu oil and not cut or adulterated with some other types of oils.
What danger is it to use grades of pure emu oil that are not Fully Refined?
Danger only exists when the pure emu oil is to be used on the human skin or is to be taken orally. If the pure emu oil is not Fully Refined, there is risk that the oil is contaminated or has not been sterilized. To be assured that you are purchasing Fully Refined Emu Oil, always look for the AEA Certification Seal on every bottle of Emu Oil that you buy. If the AEA Certification seal is not exhibited on the bottle of pure emu oil that you purchase, then you are merely taking the word of the seller that the grade of emu oil is what they are claiming.
I heard that Emu Oil has anti-inflammatory properties. What does this mean and how does it affect me?
When inflammation is reduced, pressure is relieved and there is relief from pain. In some cases, wounds heal quicker. In research conducted by Dr. Robert Nicolosi, Director of The Center for Chronic Disease Control and Prevention at the University of Massachusetts, it was concluded that topically applied emu oil has anti-inflammatory properties. Antagonism of croton oil inflammation by topical emu oil in CD-1 mice was published in Lipids. 2003 June
But since it is oil, won't it clog my pores?
Not emu oil. The Department of Dermatology, at University of Texas Medical School, showed that emu oil in concentrations of up to 100% is non-comedogenic (will not clog pores). This is one reason it is so popular in cosmetic applications.
Isn't emu oil greasy?
No. Emu oil is a superior skin moisturizer; it is absorbed into the skin quickly and there should be no residue left behind.
Is the yellow shade emu oil better than white emu oil?
The University of Massachusetts studied the anti-inflammatory effects of white emu oil compared to yellow emu oil and found no differences in the anti-inflammatory activities of the emu oil.
