About Egg Oil
WHAT IS EGG OIL? Egg oil (egg oil, eyova), also known as egg yolk oil or ovum oil, is derived from the yolk of chicken eggs consisting mainly of triglycerides with traces of lecithin and cholesterol xanthophylls such as lutein and zeaxanthin and immunoglobulins. It is free of egg proteins and may be used safely by people allergic to eggs for topical applications such as hair and skincare. Its most common uses are as a cosmetic for ageing skin, preparation in traditional alchemy and utilized as an oil for the alchemists in the appearance and pursuit of immortality. It also worked to heal wounds, treat skin disorders, and hair treatment in many traditional people's pharmacopoeias. Traditional heat extraction methods have shown evidence of destroying the amazing properties of oil of egg through the destruction of the high levels of immunoglobulin in the oil of egg. Our cold extraction method preserves the immunoglobulin and creates a superior oil of egg to the heat extraction methods. The composition of egg oil is rich in long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids(LCPUFA) such as omega-3 fatty acids (including docosahexaenoic acid) and omega-6 fatty acids (including arachidonic acid) and closely resembles the fatty acid profile of human milk as well as the lipid profile of human skin.
WHAT DO YOU USE EGG OIL FOR?
Finding the use of egg yolk oil referenced in history as far back as the 11th century made me very curious about the validity of the breadth of claims made about treatments using egg oil so I got straight to experimenting. After taking a long time figuring out the best way to produce the egg oil I used it unadulterated, as well as combined with various carrier oils, applied to both the skin and hair. The results were fast and amazing, defiantly surpassing anything I was expecting. Interestingly, those suffering from egg allergies can also use egg oil for topical treatment. Egg oil is absent of egg proteins making it safe for externally use on the skin and hair. Damaged skin like burns, existing scars, eczema, dermatitis, dandruff, excessive dryness, chapped nipples and simple irritation can all be treated with egg oil. Egg oil is a wonderful emollient that penetrates the skin easily with the help of high-quality cholesterol, moisturizing, repairing and rejuvenating by delivering exactly what the body needs in an outstanding natural way. Hair treatment with egg oil isn’t simply for enhanced beauty but known to drastically improve health by increasing blood flow, strengthening the hair shaft, softening dry hair, reducing hair fall out, reverting premature greying, and adding shine smoothness. The same egg oil can be used for a hand soak to soften cuticles, reduce peeling and strengthen nails. Applying the egg oil for either skin or hair treatment is quite easy. It can be used on the skin directly, however, I prefer to combine it with a carrier oil that also positively contributes to the treatment being applied. Almost anything can be used, but some common carriers are coconut oil, olive oil, almond oil, jojoba oil, tea tree oil, argan oil, and other complementary essential oils. The egg oil can be added directly into a homemade mask recipe and applied as usual for facial treatments. For hair treatments as well, you can combine with your choice of carrier or add to a chosen hair mask and leave in for as little as 3-hours or overnight for best results.
