Hopeful - When you say GoW's Emu is the best you've used, what other company's have you tried? Have you ever used LB Processors Emu Oil (which is lovely)? I am very tempted to try GoW's Emu Oil because the price is so good (and Markey isn't one to supply products that are second rate). Thanks... |
I've used a few different emu oils... the GOW one to me is sort of similar to the one from Skin Biology, a little bit yellowish and "gloopy" (that cloudy semi-chunky appearance - has the typical "fried oil" smell associated with emu oils). I order it myself, it's cheap and I love it on my feet in the winter.
For facial use, I actually like the clear emu oil from Diana Yvonne (LB Processors). I did also try the ultra emu from the same place before but didn't like it as much as the clear. |

I bought from EDS. 
My questions are What is the different between 100% clear emu oil and Triple Refined Pure Emu Oil? Which one is the best  |
The difference between 'Clear' and 'Triple Refined' is actually one additional process, which appears to be the subject of great debate amongst certain producers of emu oil. Regular Emu Oil is physically refined using a process called Vacuum Strip Deordorization. This process produces a safe & clean AEA Certified Emu Oil. Clear Emu Oil has been physically refined first and then gone through another process to remove some solids which enable it to penetrate deeper into your skin (which is why it is preferred for the face). This additional step also allows the oil to remain clear and more liquid at room temperature.
Triple Refined Emu oil has been physically refined (process #1), then Molecularly Distilled (process #2), and finally put through the same process as the Clear to remove solids (or fatty acids) that will allow it to penetrate deeper into your skin as well as remain clear and liquid at room temperature (process #3). The debate between emu oil producers is whether or not the Molecularly Distilled process is actually doing anything significant, or if it is possibly harming some of the properties of the oil. At this time there isn't any sort of study or paper written to say one way or the other.
The use of terms like '100%' and 'Pure' is meant to imply the same thing, though I would question 'Pure' over '100%' only because there are producers who add extra ingredients to stabilize the oil (and prevent it from turning rancid). So it may not be 100% emu oil after they're done adding whatever percentage of additional ingredients. I should mention that FDA Regulations do allow company's to add a small preservative during processing and still call their oil '100%'. Case in point is LB Processors who position their oils as 100%, yet they add 200 ppm (parts per million) of natural Vitamin E to their oils to stabilize them (which they openly admit to on their website.  ).
As for the 'best' emu oil my vote is for the 'Clear' by LB Processors. HTH's... |

| If you buy from purple emu, grab a few of their lip balms. They are probably my favorite and most healing lip balm, and the price is great. |
