Emu Oil

Rendered from the adipose tissue of the Australian emu — the world's second-largest bird and an icon of the Australian landscape. Used by Aboriginal Australians as a skin conditioner and anti-inflammatory for thousands of years. Uniquely rich in oleic acid and linoleic acid, its fatty acid profile is exceptionally compatible with human skin, enabling rapid absorption without occlusion. Ethically sourced from licensed, sustainably managed Australian producers.

Emu Oil (Dromaius novaehollandiae) provides deeply conditioning, anti-inflammatory, skin-compatible benefits for skin. Emu oil's anti-inflammatory properties are mediated by its high oleic acid content (approximately 50–55%) and the presence of terpenes that inhibit inflammatory signalling pathways. The CSIRO has published research confirming its skin penetration-enhancing properties — making it particularly valuable as a carrier that helps active botanical compounds reach the dermis more effectively. Every batch is refined, filtered, and tested to pharmaceutical-grade standards.
