Information on Emu Oil and Cosmetics

Combining emu oil and cosmetics is one way to use this healthy oil. Emu oil is naturally hypo-allergenic, non-comedogenic and may help improve skin tone, moisture levels and skin texture.

Now many women are curious if you can use emu oil with cosmetics. Emu oil is a natural skin oil that rapidly absorbs into the skin. The oil is reported to help improve skin texture, promote skin healing and reduce inflammation.

One of the best ways to get maximum benefits from emu oil is by applying it to the face after freshly washing. Emu oil helps moisturize and seal in water, reducing dry skin and redness. Give the oil time to absorb and then continue with your normal make-up routine should you wish to apply any.

Now You can Get Emu Oil Products and Toiletries

Due to the growing popularity of natural skin care products, emu oil is now available in a nubmer of different body care items.

You can now get emu oil in the following cosmetics and body care products:

• emu oil soaps
• emu oil lip balm
• emu oil shampoos
• emu oil body lotions
• emu oil exfoliating gels
• emu oil toners

Here's some emu oil soap I bought at my local health food store.

Emu oil was listed as one of the ingredients. The label didn't show how much emu oil was in each bar of soap.

You may find this to be a pretty common practise among body care products; manufacturers aren't required to list the amount of ingredients in their products. General consensus is the higher on the list the ingredient is, the more there is of that particular product.

You may find other ingredients mixed into emu oil cosmetics, such as:

• Essential oils
• Soy oils
• Glycerin
• Cocoa Butter
• Preservatives
• Foaming agents
• Antibacterial solutions

Most ingredient lists show you what's in the product, but not how much. There could be just a few drops of emu oil in these bars of soap, yet they're still called "emu oil soap".

Sometimes it's necessary for other ingredients to be added so the product can be used properly. Emu oil shampoo is useless if it can't lather. Lathering agents need to be added for shampoo to be effective. This applies to other emu oil products.

You should have no problem using make-up and other cosmetics with emu oil. This oil is rapidly absorbed into your skin and is non-comedogenic and hypo-allergenic. Emu oil makes a nice 'base' moisturizer before applying your make-up.

Using 100% Pure Refined Emu Oil is the first step to getting the best health benefits.
