What is emu oil?

Emu oil is a natural oil rendered from the fat of the emu, a large flightless bird native to Australia. It has been used for skin and body care for thousands of years and has a fatty acid profile similar to the oils naturally produced by human skin.

Why does emu oil absorb so cleanly?

What makes it different from other natural oils is its fatty acid profile, which is close to the oils naturally produced by human skin. That similarity is part of why it absorbs so cleanly.

Is all emu oil the same?

No. Walk through the wellness aisle and you’ll find emu oil blended with everything from essential oils to mystery “carriers.” Most emu oil is partially refined, with detectable yellow color and animal odor. Ours is refined to pharmaceutical-grade clarity: colorless, nearly odorless, and shelf-stable.

Ours is different in three ways

  • Not a blend. No fillers, no fragrance.
  • Fully refined to pharmaceutical-grade clarity.
  • Farm-direct. We raise the birds and refine the oil ourselves.

Emu is a bird, not a mammal.

For most people, this is a technicality. For the alpha-gal community, it’s everything.

Emu is a bird, so emu oil does not contain any mammal ingredients. Our oil is AG-FREE®: made completely without mammal ingredients and verified by independent third-party testing.
