Emu oil is a topical oil obtained from the fat of the emu,
a prehistoric bird originating from Australia. Valued for
thousands of years by the Aborigines for its healing and
penetrating properties, emu oil has many natural qualities
to help your skin feel soft, silky-smooth, and rejuvenated.
The Australian Department of Health lists emu oil as a pharmaceutical
product that has no known side effects. Its basis and benefits
are derived from Essential Fatty Acids (EFA's). EFA's are
long chain polyunsaturated acids of the omega 6 and omega
3 families which are essential for life and good health.
They cannot be synthesized or manufactured by the body so
they must be ingested or absorbed through the skin.
