The History
of Ostrich Oil
Ancient
cultures used ostrich oil as a cosmetic and in the treatment of
lesions, burns, contact dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis, dry skin,
dry hair conditions, bed sores, and many other ailments. It
is said that Cleopatra and the Queen of Sheba used ostrich oil as
part of their beauty regiment to maintain their beauty in the hot,
dry, desert climate. Ostrich oil has a high content of Omega
3, 6 and 9, the skin loving, moisturizing and conditioning
properties!
Why
Use Ostrich Oil
Ostrich
oil is high in Omega 3, 6 and 9, the skin loving Essential Fatty
Acids. We
know that the fatty acids are very important for cell growth,
division and recovery.
Some
research shows that when the essential fatty acids, omega 3 and
omega 6, are applied to wounds, they will show improvement.
It is thought that it is the content of the Essential Fatty
Acids in ostrich oil is why many find relief to skin problems.
Ostrich oil is non-comedogenic, in other words, does not
clog pores.
How
Does Ostrich and Emu Oil Differ?
Ostrich
oil and emu oil are virtually identical in properties and both
achieve the same wonderful results.
Maxxam Analytics Inc conducted an Oil Comparison Study for
the Ontario Ratite Association, in 2001.
The study concluded that all three oils (ostrich, emu and
rhea) were very closely related.
This fact was reflected by the close proximity of the
percentage values. Not
only will ostrich oil perform the same as emu oil but in several
areas it even surpasses the Guide lines that have been set for emu
oil by the emu oil industry. Ostrich
oil even has the higher content of Omega 3, 6, and 3/6 than emu
oil as shown in the studies preformed by Maxxam Analytics.

Ostrich
Oil is ideal for today's high stress, high tech society as we
become more educated, realizing that newer and better chemicals
are not always the answer to our problems. Each day, more
and more people are supporting and promoting the use of oils high
in the essential fatty acids, Omega 3, 6 and 9, of which is quite
high in ostrich oil. The molecular make up of ostrich oil is
almost identical to that of human skin. The molecular size
of ostrich oil is said to be smaller than that of human skin and
thus making it transdermal. Ostrich oil does not clog pores.
Our ostrich oil is 100% refined to the highest qualities possible,
meeting all guide lines for purity.
