It is generally between creamy pale yellow or creamy white depending on if it has been rectified or not. It contains a high level of linolenic acid, known to temporarily ease joint pain. It also contains oleic acid, which produces an anti- inflammatory effect. It has virtually no aroma and does not clog pores. Emu oil aids in the relief of burns, skin ailments, sore joints, muscle aches etc. It is also good for psoriasis, eczema, scarring, swelling, latex dermatitis, rhinitis, keloids, contact dermatitis, hemorrhoids, rheumatism, arthritis, bursitis, callused feet, sprains, chapped skin, sunburn, and many other skin ailments. It is a natural emollient that is suitable for both skin care and cosmetics. Its unique penetrating properties make it an excellent carrier vehicle for other ingredients to help dermal penetration. Massage therapists and chiropractors use it as it helps the muscles and joints stay relaxed longer after treatment. It also helps milden bar soaps to make them less drying. This product lacks long chain fatty acids which makes it conducive to a long shelf life of several months if stored in a cool dark place. It has a low irritating potential as it is a benign natural substance that soothes rather than irritates.
