How to Make Emu Oil Skin Salve

Emu oil has been used in Australia for hundreds of years to reduce redness, itching and inflammation of the skin. It closely matches the pH of human skin, so it is absorbed into the skin very rapidly. Emu oil skin salve will restore moisture and help keep the skin smooth and supple.
