Is this the one, SJA??Emu Oil for Cold Sores - fever blistersI buy from Uneet.com...then click the link for EMU oils. I love it for massage lotion because it seems to heal sore muscles. I also have some with oil of oregano in it which works even better for healing injured muscles (can you tell I get hurt a lot hahaha...not hurt...just sore). My Mother uses it on her joints (she has arthritis) and says that it helps. It is also great for making your skin soft.
Yeah it makes me sad too. Also a little grossed out to smear bird fat on my face. Lol. I've used it in the past and it wasn't really for me because I have oily skin. I've found jojoba oil to be a godsend - doesn't clog pores, moisturizes. But it's better suited for oily skin, acne prone individuals.Oh...... that makes me sad! I'm by no means in PETA, but I don't like the idea of an Emu being KILLED for the oil!!!!![]()
My skin is dry and I also live in a VERY dry climate. Now that I know that the birds are slaughtered for the oil I'm not buying any more.Yeah it makes me sad too.

Have you tried coconut oil? How about shea butter? Both are very moisturizing and come from plants.My skin is dry and I also live in a VERY dry climate. Now that I know that the birds are slaughtered for the oil I'm not buying any more.I'll stick to plant/other oils.![]()

Scroll down and she gives the properties and uses of each oil. Sorry if this is redundant or too basic, but I though it would be interesting for ppl not familiar with oils.
sandia I am a big fan of emu oil myself. Since being a member here out of respect for fawnie-Thanks so much for the link and info. I don't know a lot about oils for the face.![]()
Thanks, Gymrat!sandia I am a big fan of emu oil myself. Since being a member here out of respect for fawnie-I have not used my emu in awhile. If you like emu, I recommend you try grapeseed oil or sweet almond or jojoba. All 3 work very good, if not better. When I need just a little extra moisture I use grapeseed or sweet almond, when I am feeling a little on the dry side, I use the jojoba.![]()
I mix avocado oil or coconut oil in most of my body lotions-![]()
You are very welcome!!Thanks, Gymrat!![]()
