Emu Oil

Emu oil is a natural oil rendered from the subcutaneous fat of the emu (Dromaius novaehollandiae), native to Australia. It is composed predominantly of unsaturated fatty acids (oleic acid, linoleic acid, linolenic acid) with a fatty acid profile similar to human skin sebum — which accounts for its well-documented skin penetration properties. In leather care, it functions as a deep-penetrating conditioning emollient that can reach the inner fiber structure of leather, supplementing the surface-forming role of waxes.

Emu oil is used extensively in cosmetics, pharmaceutical skin preparations, and wound-care products. It carries no GHS hazard classifications and is considered non-toxic and non-irritating at use concentrations. Biodegradable and not aquatically toxic.
