Skin care specialists have
discovered a new, all natural tis
sue nutrient that appears to
closely mirror that of the neutral
lipid portion of the skin's stra
tum corneum.
Studies have shown that the
fatty acid composition of emu
oil, a food by-product, contains a
unique ratio of C-16 saturated
and C-18 unsaturated compo
nents. These components allow
rapid diffusion into and moistur
ization of dry and/or aging skin.
In understanding the major
changes that occur in the lower
layer of the skin, it is known
that approximately 20% of the
dermal thickness is lost in elder
ly individuals. This may
account for the paper-thin skin
that appears as one ages. There
is a decrease in the amount of
clastin fibers which provide
elasticity to the skin, causing
the skin to be less resilient.

Dr. Peter Pugliese, 1997
recipient of the Maison G.
DeNavarc Medal, stated in Emu
Today and Tomorrow magazine,
"I did a relatively small study on
the emu oil and found several

definitely a penetrant. Emu oil

In recent years the trend in
skin care and anti-aging pro
grams has been to combine
harsh noxious chemicals such as
glycolic acid/alpha hydroxy to
facial cleansers. These chemi
cals have one task: to literally
burn the top layers of skin off
your face. Once these layers of
skin are burned off the face, the
more tender, soft skin is
exposed, giving the illusion of
younger looking skin.
With the newly discovered
emu oil, burning of the Skin is no
longer supported or encouraged
by the makers of Advance
Revelations in Longevity emu oil
products. "The logic is 'why
burn your skin?' when you can
safely and naturally have beau
tiful skin without first harming
it,' says Joanne Long, of

With emu oil containing a mix
ture of fats which is nearly iden
tical to the fat profile of the
human body, it is the most excit
ing tissue nutrient to hit the
market in years," Long confides.
Although emu oil is still a
well kept secret, Long predicts
consumers will tie hearing more
and more about these revolu
tionary new products in the not
too distant future. "Once people
try it, they love it. I have cus
tomers who panic when they're
running out of emu oil products
and demand we ship to them
overnight," says Long. Long

customer in California who just
celebrated his 65 th birthday and*
swears his friend think he's only
50 years old; he uses emu oil on
his face religiously each morn
