It's been awhile... since I reviewed a product so here it goes. Frankly, I finished using this soap last March but I don't think there's an expiration date when to review products. :P
But first of all what EMU Oil?
So basically, EMU oil is a wonder oil not just in terms of health but also in beauty. So since, you now have a background about EMU oil, I will now share my experience :">
But first of all what EMU Oil?
(Source: WebMD)The emu is a flightless bird that resembles a small ostrich. Emu oil is taken from the fat of this bird during processing. It is used to make medicine.Emu oil is taken by mouth for improving cholesterol levels, as a source of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids, for weight loss, and as a cough syrup for colds, H1N1 (swine) flu, and flu.Some people apply emu oil to the skin for relief from sore muscles, aching joints, pain or inflammation, carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, shin splints, and gout. It is also used topically to improve healing of wounds, cuts, and burns from radiation therapy; to reduce bruises and stretch marks; to reduce scarring and keloids; to heal surgical wounds caused by removing skin for skin grafts; to reduce redness due to acne; and to soften dry cuticles and promote healthy nails. Emu oil is also used topically athlete's foot; diaper rash; canker sores; chapped lips; poor circulation; and skin conditions, including cancer, dry skin, dandruff, eczema, psoriasis, wrinkles or age spots. It is also used to protect skin from sun damage and to promote more youthful looking skin.Emu oil is also applied to the skin to reduce pain and irritation from shingles, bedsores, hemorrhoids, diabetic nerve pain, insect bites, earaches, eye irritation, "growing pains," and frostbite. It is used for rashes, razor burn, and nicks.

Sorry for I don't have an actual picture of it. I was in my friends' dorm while I was using this--and those are the deadly weeks of school, everyone's turning zombie (no sleep no rest just pure stress and cramming) so I didn't get the honor of taking a picture of it upon its arrival xD
So upon using it....
Pros:
- The smell- yes! I really-really hontoni love it! The smell is so lovely, I want to pin it on my nose sooo bad * o *
- It didn't gave me zits and pimples- those are hard days guys, but I didn't get any annoying visitor on my face. :)
- The peeling is unnoticeable (micro peeling) <3
Cons:
- Pricey- paying 220 Php for just one soap, well that's not practical.
- So tiny- I didn't expect it to be that small.
- It didn't lighten my skin that much. Honestly, it didn't lighten my skin at all. It just preserved my skin as it is--maybe because I didn't continue it, I guess. -.-
- The soap melted quickly--I think it only lasted for like 4 days =.="
Would I buy it again? Maybe. If I'm rich. </3
Love rating: ❤❤ I like this product but it is not practical.
How Is It Extracted?
ReplyDeleteAfter the emus are full grown, the oil is located in sack like form underneath the fat of the emu's back. It is then often refined to ensure that there are no harmful bacteria from the emu left in the oil. It is often added to creams, lotions or bottled alone to be sold on the market.
emu oil supplier
This is such a late reply, I'm very sorry. T.T
DeleteHonestly, the buyer didn't tell me how--and I guess, I'm to blame also. Thanks for bringing this up! Next time I'll make an effort to ask this certain questions before I buy. :)
God bless!
