Frequently Asked Questions
Q.: What is the difference between your “Liquid Gold Emu Oil”, “Wrinkle
Reducing Serum”, “Pure Emu oil”, and “Intense Wrinkle Moisturizer”?
A: Our Wrinkle Reducing Serum is a proprietary blend of amino lipid
complexes. The pure Emu oil is “whole” refined Emu oil. The Liquid Gold Emu
oil is sometimes referred to as “clear”, “triple refined”, or “winterized”
Emu oil. It has gone through another process to remove some of the heavier
fatty acids without compromising the beneficial components of the oil, to
help it remain more liquid at cooler temperatures. It may also penetrate the
skin faster. Our Intense Wrinkle Moisturizer is an Emu oil based Lotion with
several other ingredients to help tone and moisturize the skin.
Q: Does your Emu oil need to be refrigerated?
A: Absolutely not! If a company is telling you their Emu oil needs to be
refrigerated, that means the oil has not been properly refined and still
contains bacteria and other contaminants. All our Emu oil is Fully Refined
and Molecularly Distilled. It has a shelf life of 3 – 4 years without any
refrigeration. If you want to extend the shelf life of our Emu oil beyond
the 3 – 4 years, you can refrigerate or freeze the oil.
Q: Does AEA Certified Emu oil ensure safety and/or improve the oil?
A: There has been no valid scientific research performed indicating that AEA
Certified Emu oil is safe or improved. Since scientific research has not
been able to identify the active ingredient in Emu oil that gives Emu oil
its research proven capabilities, care must be taken when purchasing oil
that claims to be “certified”. Longview Farms was informed years ago by Dr.
Leigh Hopkins that simply “refining” Emu oil left behind contaminants such
as heavy metals, pesticides, herbicides, arsenic and other contaminants. The
AEA Certified Emu oil program does not require that such contaminants be
removed from the oil. Having the knowledge that simply refined Emu oil still
contains contaminants, Longview Farms turned to modern technology to help
ensure consumers are receiving the purest, safest and most effective Emu oil
available. That is why all our Emu oil is refined, sterilized, deodorized,
Molecularly Distilled and AOCS laboratory tested. We turned to the experts
to help us ensure safety and purity….something not yet understood by the AEA
Certified Emu oil program. The term “certified” is deemed to be unnecessary
and considered to be a marketing ploy.
Q: What is the difference between “Clear” Emu oil, “Triple Refined” Emu oil,
and your “Liquid Gold Emu Oil”?
A: They are all the same, just different terms used in marketing by various
companies. This variety of Emu oil has gone through an additional processing
step to remove some of the heavier fatty acids to help it remain more liquid
at cooler temperatures. We believe our Liquid Gold Emu Oil may penetrate the
skin faster because some of the heavier fatty acids have been removing.
Removing those heavier fatty acids does not reduce the effectiveness of the
Emu oil nor does it remove any of the beneficial components.
Q: What is Ultra Emu Oil*?
A: The best we can say is, “we’re not sure”. We believe it to be a marketing
ploy of one our competitors. Their explanation of it is that it does
something more than “unprocessed emu oil”. We have found no proof of this
statement, but we guess they are saying that their emu oil does more than
raw, unprocessed, un-sterilized, crude emu oil. Of course we all know
consumers should not use emu oil that has not been fully refined and
Molecularly Distilled. We are not aware that this so-called ‘Ultra Emu Oil’
has been Molecularly Distilled to ensure safety and purity. Likewise, they
are saying it is “enhanced”; to us that means it is not “pure emu oil”, but
rather has been diluted with some other substance….maybe soy oil? We are not
sure and therefore cannot answer consumer questions regarding their
statements. Let the buyer beware.
Q: How do you get the Emu oil?
A: Emu oil is a food by-product. You can read all about the origins of Emu
oil at www.Emu-Oil.com.
Q: How long after I place my order will I receive it?
A: Most orders are shipped within 24 hours of receipt, and are shipped via
Priority Mail. You should receive your order within 3 – 5 business days
after shipment.
Q: Which Pain Relief product should I purchase?
A: We offer several Pain Relief Products for a reason – everyone’s body is
different and you may find relief from one product and not another. All our
pain relief products contain Emu oil to help reduce inflammation naturally.
Each product also contains other ingredients we believe may help in the
temporary relief of pain associated with arthritis, joint pain, back pain
and more. Our Blue Pain Relief contains Emu oil, MSM, Menthol and Witch
Hazel. You can read all about this product at www.BluePainRelief.com. Our
Muscle Relief Roll-On contains Emu oil and Capsaicin – a natural ingredient
from the pepper plant. Our Comfort-ability Rub contains Emu oil, Eucalyptus,
Glucosamine and MSM.
Q: What makes Molecularly Distilled Emu oil different than AEA Certified Emu
oil?
A: Molecular Distillation removes unwanted toxins such as heavy metals,
herbicides, pesticides, arsenic and other cancer-causing substances that may
not be removed by traditional refining such as that of many AEA Certified
Emu oil companies. The AEA recommended guidelines are a requirement of the
AEA’s Certified Seal program for a paid fee and other special
considerations. This AEA Certified Emu oil program is patently
discriminatory in nature and in functionality. Therefore, the AEA’s program
and guidelines are NOT recognizable or approved by any State Government
Agency, any U.S. Federal Government Agency, any known foreign Government
Agency, or the World Trade Organization. Molecular Distillation is a process
recognized by many Government Agencies and companies throughout the world.
Q: My skin is very dry with dry patches everywhere. What products do you
recommend?
A: Emu oil is a tissue nutrient, which feeds the skin helping it to become
healthy. We recommend using any of our quality moisturizing creams and
lotions on the skin throughout the day, and our Pure Emu oil in the evening
before going to bed. This allows the Pure Emu oil to nourish the skin for
hours while you sleep. Our customer have told us this method of application
has helped them with dry skin, rosacea, psoriasis, eczema and other skin
conditions. We have formulated specific creams and lotions for specific
needs, such as our Psoriasis Aid Cream, 4 oz. Facial Cream (for extra dry
skin) and Hand & Body Lotions for all over moisturization.
Q: I have red patches all over my face. The dermatologist has given me
several medications, but nothing has worked. Will Emu oil help?
A: Red patches may be a sign of Rosacea. We have had many customers tell us
Pure Emu oil and the use of our Emu oil soaps have cleared up these red
patches. Taking our Inner Relief Emu oil gel caps also help feed the skin
“from the inside out” for a healthy glow.
