What are the benefits of Emu Oil?

Emu Oil moisturises even the driest of skin, evenly tones it and softens wrinkles. It is also deeply penetrating so when rubbed into the skin it quickly saturates the underlying tissues.
This makes it great for muscle and joint problems where it can provide pain relief and ease stiffness.
It can also help to promote cell regrowth and is therefore very effective on cuts and scrapes as well as in shampoo and conditioner form to combat hair loss.
Emu oil contains sterols, with HDL-Cholesterol (good cholesterol), Vitamin E, Vitamin A and collagen are present in significant quantities.
Varying amounts of natural antioxidants besides the naturally occurring Vitamin E (carotenoids, flavones) are also present in the raw oil.
