Laid in Montana emu oil

[Guest guest]

Dear Group,

This summer i contacted Laid in Montana to ask if they used any

chemicals in their refining process -- something i hadn't considered

when i chose their emu oil a few years ago after an intensive search

for the purest available. (Unfortunately, as of yet, no emu oil is

certified organic.)

I was already very happy with it -- so much so that i regularly

sent Bellevue Pharmacy a supply to use for all my topical rx's until

they started offering it as one of their standard base choices (yea!)

-- but this explanation, reprinted below with permission, made me

feel even better about my decision and i thought you'd find it

interesting and informative.

You asked about any chemicals or solvents in our emu oil. The answer

is NO and I will run through our process. We are very proud of our

oil because we are one of the only Ranches in the U.S. that sends our

fat in large enough batches to be guaranteed our own oil back. This

is very important because we have found through our own testing that

fat can VERY EASILY be manipulated through a feed program. Our birds

are raised stress free in large pens with free choice food and water.

Our feed program has been guaranteed to not have any animal by

products in it since 1998. Our feed producer is a small mill 120

miles south of the ranch that grinds fresh crops for our Emu's feed.

There are no chemicals or chemical preservatives or animal by products

in our birds feed. Our fat is rated in the top 2% in the country.

When our fat is refined it is done at acceptably low temperatures then

filtered through natural clay filters. We use a minimal amount of

natural vitamin E as a preservative (approx, 1 TBSP per 5 gallons) So

you are truly getting an all natural product from the very beginning

with our 100% Montana Emu Oil. The refining and filtering process

takes all the impurities out. There are truly only three grades of

Emu oil. Crude, Crude refined and fully refined. When people use the

terms * cosmetic Grade they are only talking about fully refined. When

people say triple refined, they are playing with words because all

fully refined oil passes through three filters. When they talk about

molecularly distilled—it is a refining process but does not pass the

American Emu Association standards. You may even see some Australian

oil out there vouching that it passes all AEA standards---another

manipulation of words---AEA can stand for American Emu Association OR

Australian Emu Association and the Australian Emu Association

standards are quite different than the American.

Sincerely,

Penni
