Made from the fat of the emu, a flightless bird native to Australia, emu oil is known for its ability to be absorbed into the skin quickly and penetrate more deeply than other types of oils. This is thanks to the smaller particles that make up emu oil. Emu oil is also a strong source of fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamins, all of which are said to hydrate dry skin.
When massaged gently into skin, emu oil may promote skin health and encourage soft skin overall. Emu oil may also protect the skin against the sun when used as part of a sun care routine.
You can massage emu oil into your skin once or twice per day, as tolerated, or use it as a carrier oil for an essential oil massage blend.
