Emu Oil FAQ

What is AEA (American Emu Assocation) Certified Emu Oil?

This is a 100% purely refined emu oil that hasn't been diluted or mixed with other oils.

It has been tested by an AOCS (American Oil Chemist Society) certified chemist. The oil has been been certified to meet very strict specifications. A sample is held in storage from each batch and can be pulled for testing if its purity is questioned.

Only 100% Pure Emu Oil that's gone through this evaluation process can carry the AEA Certification Seal.

What is Molecular-Distilled emu oil?

Oil is made by a special distillation process that removes impurities not removed by traditional refining methods including unwanted moisture, undesirable free fatty acids and bacteria.

Molecular distillation takes fully-refined emu oil one step further in the purification process.

Manufacturers using this method claim it's the purest and highest quality emu oil available.

When buying emu oil you can choose between Fully-Refined emu oil or Molecular-distilled emu oil.

Is there a difference between white emu oil and yellow emu oil?

These color differences may be caused by the diet of the emu and different oil processing techniques.

Research shows there's no difference in quality between different colors of emu oils.

Is Australian emu oil better than North American emu oil?

In 2004, the AEA compared emu oil from 9 different countries, including Australia, Canada, New Zealand and United States. All samples were equally tested and the fatty acid content was analyzed. They found no difference between oils, regardless of which country it came from.

The University of Massachusetts compared the anti-inflammatory properties between Australian Emu oil and American Emu oil and they found no significant differences.

How much should you pay for the best emu oil?

Emu oil is available in different quantities.

The most common size available is 1 - 2 ounce bottles, but you can also get one liter jugs.

The average costs of emu oil are $5 - $10 per ounce.

Buying emu oil in 'bulk' quantities will usually save you money and you'll pay less per ounce. The prices also depend on the manufacturer and the purity of the oil.

I bought this 16 oz. bottle of emu oil from an AEA-certified emu ranch in Kansas called 4 Star Emu Ranch. I found them through eBay.

I paid just under $40 a bottle, which works out to less than $2.50 an ounce. Compared to paying $5 - 10 an ounce, I thought this is a great bargain.

I've been using their emu oil for the past two years and I'm really happy with it. It's molecular-distilled and certified by the AEA.

This oil goes on really smooth and absorbs rapidly into the skin. You can get a variety of different sizes to suit your needs.
