HealthyHairPlus. com, a leading manufacturer of hair care products (http://www. healthyhairplus. com), announces it has introduced a new line of Emu Oil Shampoos and Conditioners to target dry hair, thinning hair and scalp irritation.
Derived from the Emu bird, a cousin to the Ostrich and Kiwi, Emu Oil is well known for its skin healing properties. Long touted as an alternative for solving such problems as acne, eczema, psoriasis, skin rashes, dry skin and as an effective treatment for scars and stretch marks, Emu Oil and its moisturizing and transdermal benefits is becoming a popular and effective ingredient in shampoos and conditioners. Emu Oil has been repeatedly recognized in the cosmetic world for its ability to repair and heal the skin.
The Emu, a flight-less bird, was discovered by the Aborigines in Australia and is valued both for its healing properties, meat and feathers. In fact, the American Emu Association's (AEA) (http://www. aea-emu. org) mission includes education to promote whole use of the bird -- which is enjoying growing popularity globally.
Research has shown Emu Oil stimulates skin development, promotes follicle growth and is effective at blocking DHT, an inhibitor to hair growth. Emu Oil has superb transdermal features and acts as a carrier for vital nutrients, Omega 3, 6 and 9 and essential fatty acids. It is also an anti-bacterial, anti-microbial and hydrates the skin and hair shaft quickly and deeply.
As a natural emollient, Emu Oil does not clog skin pores which aids in deep-cleaning and hair follicle health; it blends well with active shampoo and conditioner ingredients allowing effective formulation to alleviate hair loss. Emu Oil is an anti-inflammatory, curing perifollicular inflammation -- an inflammation of the follicle. Many scalp and hair problems are a result of skin problems that manifest into rashes, psoriasis and inflammation -- all of which contribute to male baldness.
HealthyHairPlus. com has formulated Emu Oil shampoos and conditioners (http://www. healthyhairplus. com/dry_hair. htm) to take advantage of its rich benefits. Deep moisturizing properties and natural nutrients, Vitamin E, and Jojoba Oil combine to promote healthy, moisturized hair while promoting follicle development and hair growth -- an excellent combination to restore thinning and dry hair.
HealthyHairPlus. com manufactures a complete line of hair care products and hair vitamins (http://www. healthyhairplus. com/hair_vitamins. htm) for common hair problems. Hair products target thinning, loss, faster hair growth, scalp psoriasis, breakage, oily scalp, dandruff and hair color products.

We found emu oil to be totally non-irritating, having excellent moisturizing properties, cosmetically pleasing texture, and low incidence of comedogenicity. The most intriguing properties of emu oil as far as cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries are concerned is its apparent ability to penetrate the stratum corneum barrier. The study of penetration of various substances through the skin is an area of an active research and is obviously important from the therapeutical and toxicological viewpoints.
