Then indulge your skin cells with rich and nourishing emu oil. Made up of essential fatty acids - including Omega-3, Omega-6, and Omega-9 fatty acids - emu oil is a natural moisturizer that penetrates deeply to get to the heart of dry skin. One group of researchers thinks they know why it is so effective. By analyzing the fatty acids composition of emu oil through gas chromatography, they discovered it has a high concentration of monounsaturated fatty acids (Omega-9), which allows it to easily penetrate the stratum corneum (the outermost layer of the skin). A double-blind study in humans found that emu oil, applied topically every day for two weeks, delivered excellent moisturizing properties. In fact, emu oil had better skin penetration than mineral oil - commonly used in drugstore moisturizers - and was preferred by all 11 subjects. People participating in the study also appreciated emu oil's superior texture and low comedogenicity (ability to initiate breakouts). It's especially important to keep your skin well-moisturized as you age. Why? Because aging skin loses its ability to retain moisture - making fine lines and wrinkles look more noticeable. Once you give your skin cells the hydration they crave, skin naturally plumps and fine lines and wrinkles diminish in appearance. Skin Thickness Another downside of aging skin is that it becomes thinner, more fragile, and more prone to injury with each passing decade. At the same time, aging skin loses its ability to repair itself. That's a real double whammy - not only is your skin more prone to injury as you get older, it also has a harder time healing! The good news is that emu oil can help. A small study looked at the effects of topical emu oil application in elderly individuals. Eight adults, with an average age of 72, applied emu oil at least once nightly to the back of their non-dominant hand. They left the other hand alone. Researchers measured the skin thickness of the emu-treated hand at the beginning of the study and again after six weeks of application. The results were eye-opening: overall, there was an eight percent increase in skin thickness. Skin and Hair Growth Initial research suggests rubbing emu oil on your skin and scalp may promote increased skin cell turnover (revealing fresher, younger-looking skin) and stimulate hair growth (contributing to a fuller head of hair). Researchers at Boston University Medical Center studied the effect of topical emu oil on skin and hair growth in mice. Two groups of mice had their hair removed.
