The primary ingredients of Emu Oil are fatty acids ranging from C12 (Lauric acid) through to C20 (Gadoleic acid). In terms of its benefits for human use, it is the way in which these acids bond together to form a unique Triglyceride that enables the oil to have such effective uses. Of the main fatty acids contained in Emu Oil, Oleic acid and Linoleic acid are responsible for Emu Oils’ best features.
Oleic acid has long been known as a skin cell regenerator. Typically Emu Oil is 45 to 55% Oleic acid.
Linoleic acid is known as anti-inflammatrant and has been synthesized for several years. Typically Emu Oil contains 10 to 15% Linolenic acid.

PROPERTIES OF EMU OIL
COMEDOGENCITY (Non Pore Clogging)
FEATURES |
BENEFITS |
| Unlike other oils Emu Oil does not clog up the pores of the skin or cause acne | More
effective skin treatment which will enable the emollients to penetrate the skin’s
surface and have greater impact without greasy residue, a boon for the cosmetics industry. Similarly, it is more active than water based creams which do not penetrate the skin barrier. |
FATTY
ACID ANALYSIS / EFFECTS
ON HEART DISEASE AND ARTHRITIS
70% of all acids in Emus are of the unsaturated variety; less that 30% are polyunsaturated fats with rest in monounsaturated fats. Emu Oil contains the following Essential Fatty Acids (acids that our bodies cannot produce) necessary for good health and productive growth.
FEATURES |
BENEFITS |
| Oleic acid; the largest primary fatty acid found. | These findings are consistent with the recommendations for a heart healthy diet and have a beneficial effect on cardiovascular disease |
| Omega 6 fatty acids; necessary as building blocks for very powerful compounds, Prostaglandins, as certain diseases can cause an unbalance of Prostaglandins in the body | The balancing of Prostaglandins in the body serves to control and ease the effects of arthritis. |
| Omega 3 fatty acids; another important acid usually found in fish oil. Omega 3 contains EPA & DHE | EPA & DHE are again critical in the fight against heart disease. |
| Linolenic acid; present in large quantities in Emu Oil and is known to ease muscle ache, joint pain and have anti – inflammatory properties | The Linolenic acid in Emu Oil has anti-inflammatory properties that will substantially reduce the pain and inflammation of arthritis (rheumatoid and osteoporosis). |
BACTERIOSTATIC TESTING
FEATURES |
BENEFITS |
| Emu Oil has been tested for the
following bacteria and found no growth nor indeed presence in the fat; anaerobic bacteria,
fungus, salmonella, shigella, staphylococcus, streptococcus, E coli. It can be concluded that Emu Oil does not promote the growth of bacteria |
An usual and remarkable quality leading to projected and already executed applications in many commercial products instead of chemical based preservations and stablisers presently used in creams, make-up and even food: e.g. hydrogenated vegetable oil for food and Liposomes in the cosmetics industry. |
LONG LIFE PROPERTIES
FEATURES |
BENEFITS |
| Emu Oil is stable at
room temperatures, does not readily oxidise and has not deteriorated in stage after two
years. Furthermore, Emu fat does not subscribe to normal definition of animal fat but rather shares more in common with some seed oils. |

From tests using Kalaya processed Emu Oil on mice the following was found:
FEATURES |
BENEFITS |
| There was a 20% increases in DNA synthesis, stimulated hair and skin growth and hair follicles were more robust | Stimulates hair re-growth. |
Initial testing suggests that Emu Oil have remarkable powers for moisturising based on its ratio of C-16 to C-18 unsaturated components and the sterochemistry of the C-18 oleic moiety.
FEATURES |
BENEFITS |
| It is able to enhance the skin’s upper layers to hold onto water, penetrate the epidermis and stimulate its rate ridges which would enhance the thickness of the dermis | Transforms
rough dry skin to a smooth and healthy appearance. Can reverse the ravages of aging. Can offer similar benefits hair and nails. |
