Natural Pure Emu Oil versus Sunscreen

Emu Oil: Natural Sun Protection and Skin Care

Many of our customers have asked if emu oil contains sunblock, as they have noticed that the emu oil has provided them with protection from the sun. We have conducted testing and discovered that Emu oil has a natural sun factor of SPF8.

Benefits of Emu Oil

• Consistency and Application: Emu oil is viscous, thick and sticky at lower temperatures (like the consistency of cooking oil at room temperature). However, a small amount can cover large areas of skin when warmed to body temperature as it becomes thin after application.
• Sun Protection: Our research shows that Emu Oil provides a natural SPF8, offering mild protection against burn and dehydration from the sun. However, for full protection, especially during prolonged sun exposure, it should be used alongside a regular sunscreen with a higher SPF.
• After-Sun care: If you accidentally get yourself sunburnt, Emu Oil is an excellent choice to mitigate the damage, reduce pain, and prevent peeling. Keep a bottle handy for summer! It’s ideal for all burns where the skin is not broken.
• Radiation Treatment Support: We recommend Emu Oil to those undergoing radiation treatment as it helps to soothe burnt and scarred skin.

This is very good news especially for those of you who are concerned about all the chemicals contained in regular sunscreens. 

Advantages Over Commercial Skin Creams 

Many commercially sold skin creams contain mineral oil, this substance allows the creams to be of a high viscosity which makes the cream slippery and easy to apply. This in turn makes an in-penetrable film on your skin which can block pores and your skin’s natural respiration process. This film can block pores, leading to blackheads, pimples, and hinder the absorption of beneficial ingredients.

Emu Oil, on the other hand:

• Contains no additives and is non-comedogenic (won’t block pores).
• Is completely natural and can be used on any skin irritation, from eczema to sunburn, easing itchiness and soreness.
• Makes a great night oil for the eyes and eyelashes and won’t come off on your bedding
