Emu Oil and Cosmetics

More and more health-conscious consumers are demanding natural ingredients in their skin care products and cosmetics. Combining emu oil and cosmetics is one way to use this healthy oil.

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.

This is pretty common with a lot of body care products. Manufacturers aren't required to list the amount of ingredients in their products.

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.
