The emu is a grandiose, flightless bird native to Australia that has survived between 60 and 100 million years! We sustainably source Smidge® Australian Emu Oil from emus that happily graze on the grassy pastures of Southeast Australia. We render the Emu Oil from the bird’s fat, which stores nutrition and energy for when it’s needed most: during drought, famine and reproduction phases.
The oil is rendered immediately at a gentle, low temperature to retain all of its nutritional properties (unlike most operations that remove fat from the bird and freeze it for rendering at a later time). This efficient and advanced method preserves the integrity and yields the highest quality Emu Oil with 100% naturally occurring nutrients.
And, we maintain quality and control over the entire process, from rendering to crafting and bottling the oil in fresh, small batches.
The Emu Oil softgel material is made up of Gelatin, Glycerin, and water. The Gelatin is sourced from unadulterated Bovine and the Glycerin is derived from sustainable plantation Palm Oil.
