The Magic of Emu Oil
Mysterious, amber colored, silky emu oil is prized throughout the world as a serum for moisturizing dry skin, anti aging and is said to impart healing properties. The oil is rendered from the fat of the emu (Dromaius novaehollandiae) and is filtered and processed to reduce bacteria and contaminants. Our small batch skin care products contain pure ultra refined emu oil with the highest levels of fatty acids, including oleic acid, a monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acid, linoleic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid, and linolenic acid, an omega-3 fatty acid, giving it a fatty acid structure similar to human skin cells. When used as a moisturizer, the unique molecular composition of the oil allows it to penetrate deep into the skin and it is believed to be non-comedogenic.
We combine the properties of emu oil with naturally grown and hand harvested herbs and edible flowers from our small Hudson Valley farm, along with the finest blends of organic floral oils from a small farm in Provence, France. Each small batch of our skin care products is carefully produced according to FDA regulations in a female-run laboratory in New York State, according to our unique specifications. All of our emu oil is ethically sourced in the United States from small family farms.
Emu oil has been used for thousands of years according to native oral history. This skin care tradition combined with the natural energies of our Hudson Valley flower and herb gardens are contained in our creations.
