Dr. A. Zemtsov ( Assistant Professor in Dept. of Dermatology and Biochemistry at Texas Tech University's Health Science Center.) discovered the emu oil to be highly penetrating, a good emulsifier, bacteriostatic (does not promote growth of bacteria), hypoallergenic ( has a low irritating potential),and is non-comedogenic ( non-pore- clogging).

Currently many cosmetic and pharmaceutical companies are researching liposomes, which are highly penetrating and can go through the skin barrier carrying any medication with it. Emu oil is a natural occurring substance with these qualities. One gallon of Emu oil may cost $400 but compare that to one ounce of liposome costing $2000!
