Are people allergic to emu Oil?
Emu oil is considered very hypo-allergenic. Allergic reactions are extremely rare since the fatty acid profile in the oil is similar to our skin cell profile. Emu oil has more in common with olive oil than an animal fat with the exception of the therapeutic properties. Although olive oil contains high levels of oleic acid it is in an inactive form. The oleic acids in emu oil are extremely active.
