When you really want a not-pure emu oil product
We say “be careful” because some people out there just dilute the oil and add nothing of value. If you’re buying emu oil, it should be 100% pure. If you’re buying something else, then it should be something very similar to one of the following.
- Moisturisers/Body Cream
- Muscle Rubs
- Soaps & Shampoos
Emu oil moisturisers can include things like vitamin E, elastin, shea/cocoa butter. They will also usually come with a water additive to blend properly and a stabiliser & emulsifier like glycerine.
But be careful of blends with no apparent purpose
If the product is simply pure, scented with jasmine – you should be wary as this could very well be poorly refined “rancid” emu oil. The jasmine is added to cover the off scent of the base product.
Or maybe it has glycerine by itself, or purified aqua (water) or maybe sodium benzoate. None of these actually do anything for you, although the last one is a preservative.
