Guest guest Posted March 16, 2001 Report Share Posted March 16, 2001 Hello Moonpig, There's got to be a wonderful story behind that screen name, maybe you will share it with me in a private email:) Your screen name however is obviously not the reason why I, the ultimate lurker, have chosen to post to the group. I think that you make an excellent point when you say that you would not offer products, food or otherwise knowingly to someone who is against the use of animal byproducts, and or animal cruelty. However the most meaningful part of your statement is the word KNOWINGLY. I read this list as or possibly more faithfully than the Bible. It's obvious if you read through many of the threads, " about fo's and eo's " " First Soap " and " Lavenders " that although many of the contributors to the list are knowledgeable professionals and laymen, there are some here who are at the beginning of their quest to master both knowledge and skill in the production and business of toiletries. I am almost certain that some of the members of this list may have never heard of Emu oil, much less where it comes from, how it is obtained or if there are any other uses for Emu byproducts. For those members of the list who aren't knowledgeable beyond knowing that they wish to make and or sell cruelty or animal free products, the information was valuable. For the record, I am not an animal activist, nor am I a vegan, and regarded the portion of the post that was couched by " I personally feel... " and, " JMHO(Just My Humble Opinion) as making it clear that although Demetria is stating an opinion, it is an opinion she knows others don't agree with and in stating her opinion she does not demand or expect any one else to follow.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2001 Report Share Posted March 16, 2001 " I am not trying to start anything but I just wanted to let people know that in order to get Emu oil the emu is killed for its fat pocket on its back.

I just wanted to say that even though an emu is killed for its oil, as long as it is used as a meat source, not to much is wasted!

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2001 Report Share Posted March 16, 2001 Even the feathers are used very little goes to waste with an emu. There are more stores carrying emu meat if you like it, just keep checking around.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2001 Report Share Posted May 26, 2001 Lyn, Emu oil is rendered fat from emu birds. I imagine they do it much like when they render cow fat for tallow or pigs for lard.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2001 Report Share Posted May 27, 2001 Deb There's an emu farm up the road from my girlfriend's house in the next town. It seems weird to go by there and see them all out in the fenced in area. I'm sure you know that's like the newest thing as meat. It's very expensive but they say it's very good for you and VERY low in fat. I just can't picture eating it myself, but I guess that's because it's so new to everyone.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2001 Report Share Posted May 27, 2001 Emu oil is wonderful! It is said to heal burns & clear up rosacea, among other things. I use a blend of emu, tea tree, lavender & vit. e on my face. I just made two batches of soap for an emu oil farm. She wants to carry all my products. Too bad I'm moving! Oh well. Anyway, the sad thing about emu oil is they have to kill the emu for the oil. It comes from a small gland in the emu (as far as I know). the oil is not the only good thing that comes from an emu, however. You can also eat the meat (very good!). Even though I make the soap & lotion bars w/ it, I still get a little squeamish about the whole idea. It sells like hotcakes though. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2001 Report Share Posted October 26, 2001 Katy; I use emu oil regularily and it is creamy white and has almost no odor. I had a 2 oz. bottle get shoved to the back of a shelf once and when I finally discovered it, it was past hope. Tannish/brownish and very stinky! My emu oil might be a different grade, I don't know. But, doesn't it seem that gross = spoiled? I'd trash it, even though it's expensive. Lizz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 26, 2001 Report Share Posted October 26, 2001 Thanks Lizz.....I have a cold and could still detect a rotten smell. came home and I stuck it under his nose and he wasn't very happy! :-) It's definitely rancid but I'm not going to trash it. I want my money back. First I waited too long after paying her before she shipped it and then I finally get it and it's rancid. She had mentioned that it had a slight smell but made it sound like that was normal. I've emailed her and waiting for her response. Any emu oil I've had has been creamy white with no smell at all. I keep mine refrigerated until I need it. Hopefully she's going to do the right thing and let me return it to her for a refund. Have a good weekend.

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2003 Report Share Posted September 30, 2003 I use emu oil in my soaps all the time. I do hot process so after the cook I add 2 oz of emu to about a 5 lb batch. On the rare occasion that I do cp, I add the emu right before it goes into the mold. I do not count this in my lye calculations. The soap is wonderful. But emu is to pricey for me to use a lot of it in soap. I could be wrong but I feel that adding 2 oz emu with the other oils would not make much difference. Just my 2 cents worth.

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2003 Report Share Posted September 30, 2003 Anything you use emu for will be wonderful. In lotions and such be sure to use the refined but you can use the unrefined in soap. I use it at about 10% in soap.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 Hi, I have some emu oil here that my Mum bought for me to help the pain in my hands due to fibromyalgia. I don't know exactly how much it cost her, but I think it was around $25 for 100ml. The woman who suggested it gave Mum the impression that it would make a huge difference for me and would practically heal me. I used it regularly for about a month, and there was no real improvement. I now only use it occasionally, when I have a particularly bad day. It doesn't stop the pain, but I feel better for having put it on and at least tried something. However, I have found one situation where it is fabulous. You know how your feet feel when you've been on them all day in uncomfortable shoes. Rub in a bit of emu oil and within about 10 minutes they feel better. It's not a particularly nice oil to use. It doesn't smell nice, and it's very greasy on your skin. I wont be using it in anything I make. > > > emu oil has become an important component of the Australian economy. > As a result there is research from that part of the world showing it > to be a good emollient that can help heal skin.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 You should make a cream out of it and MSM. This might make a difference in you fibromyalgia. I use it a lot for my shoulders. If you use a little IPM and Dimethicone you will find that the feel of it is greatly improved. It makes a wonderful cream or lotion.
