WEEKLY SPECIAL: Oil of Mink & American Emu at Prices TDF-09/05-09/11/2004!

 

Our Long Awaited Arrival: OIL OF MINK IS HERE!

 

As you may know, Mink Oil is highly touted in many high-line cosmetics. Easily

incorporated into your formulas, this ultra-exotic natural oil adds superior

emolliency and a host of other benefits to your products. There are several

cosmetic companies whose entire line is based on this ingredient alone. One,

for example, retails a 3 ounce bar of Mink Oil Soap for $23.00!

http://www.pureminkoil.com/products_soap.htm The same company retails Mink Oil

in a bottle at the equivalent of (over) $712.00 per Pound!

Oh yes, you can bet we’ll be presenting plenty of fun new formulas using this

ingredient! Right now, let’s hear From the Manufacturer we chose to supply us

with this fine ingredient, who exclusively produces this oil and has thirty

years of experience doing so:

 

Mink’s Unique Qualities: The special composition of these oils is unique among

commercial vegetable and animal oils currently marketed. The supreme softness,

smoothness and moisture-retaining properties imparted to skin are directly due

to the special ratio of glycerides contained in Mink Oil. No other commercial

oil has this ratio!

 

Mink Oil, increasingly through the years, enjoys ever expanding usage. The oil’s

ability to counteract dry, scaly, rough, reddened skin has now been experienced

by top formulators everywhere. These professionals also appreciate the ease with

which the oil can be incorporated in their products, and the outstanding results

on skin and hair that they are able to achieve.

 

The consideration and use of Mink Oil for your products will introduce a new

dimension to your search for the perfect, totally natural emollient. Some

marketers go so far as to offer pure Mink Oil to capture the full effect of the

oil’s super emolliency—without dilution by other materials. Application of Mink

Oil results in dramatic relief of skin dryness. The oil is rapidly absorbed and

does not produce sensations of “oiliness,” “greasiness” or discomfort. It

lubricates the skin and helps to reduce moisture loss, thus enabling the skin to

re-moisturize itself, trapping moisture from the lower cell layers.

 

 

 

Clinically Tested: Tests by a clinical testing laboratory indicate that mink oil

can penetrate human skin to a depth of fifteen layers. A gradient is established

whereby the outermost layers have higher concentrations than successive lower

layers. The technique of Atenuated Total Reflectance— lnfra Red Spectroscopy

(ATR-IR) was used for this study. The main body of the oil remains near the

surface, which explains its high emolliency and skin barrier moisturizing

effects. This property also accounts for the persistent, long-lasting softening

and smoothing of the skin surface.

 

 

 

Exceptional Dry Skin Use: An unusual application for Mink Oil was published in

Diabetes Care Vol. 8 No. 5 Sept./Oct. 1985. Richard K. Bernstein M.D. reported

great success with Mink Oil in treating diabetic feet. Cracked skin in Type I

and Type II diabetes is often developed. Dr. Bernstein prescribes Mink Oil,

applied twice daily. “We find it more efficacious and more acceptable to

patients than lanolin, it is liquid at room temperature, and therefore requires

less rubbing for absorption.

 

 

 

Special Uses: Because of its high palmitoleic acid content and other

characteristics, Mink Oil is often considered as a replacement for the no longer

available sperm oil, formerly obtained from the sperm whale. Synthetic

replacements abound, but none with palmitoleic acid. Mink Oil is currently used

by one major personal care marketer as an important ingredient in its hair

holding spray. Originally incorporated to help plasticize the resin, this

marketer found that the oil actually improved holding power, in addition to

contributing softer feel and more sheen.

 

 

 

Quality Control: Our Mink Oil processing is carried out with utmost care. Rigid,

high standards are maintained at every stage of production. All this is

necessary to retain the fine efficacy values found in the original material.

This whole oil of mink is then refined, deodorized and filtered to produce the

various special grades of Mink Oil. Each has specifications to accommodate a

wide range of cosmetic, pharmaceutical and specialty uses.

 

These Oils of Mink are fine and exacting products, the result of almost 30 years

of research and quality control. Practically odorless, these fractions of pure,

natural mink oil are marketed world wide. Each provides discernible efficacy

values long desired by the cosmetic industry in fine formulations of skin and

hair care products.

 

Stability: Mink Oil is very stable against oxidation despite it’s high content

of unsaturated fatty acids (79%). A sample kept in the laboratory for over ten

years showed no signs of oxidative damage when recently opened.

What is the difference between Soap and Cosmetic Grades?

 

Cosmetic: This is the liquid fraction separated from the whole oil via a

proprietary process. It is then further refined to ensure very light color and

low odor. It has exceptional spreading power on the skin and is quickly

absorbed. Non oily, non greasy, non comedogenic. This is the grade most often

called for.

 

Soap: This is the higher melting portion of Mink Oil which is removed during

extraction of the Cosmetic Grade. It has unusual spreadability and liquefies on

the skin. A very valuable adjunct to the cosmetic chemist’s raw material shelf.

It’s value has generally been overlooked. This super emollient exhibits

exceptional skin coverage and offers greater protection against skin dryness and

transdermal moisture loss.

CERTIFIED COSMETIC GRADE AMERICAN EMU OIL!

 

Many of you are already aware of the cosmetic benefits of American Emu Oil. Our

snow white gently refined Emu Oil is odorless and certified Cosmetic Grade. We

feel you will find the quality of this Emu Oil is far superior to others you’ve

used. Here is some information about Emu Oil obtained from the manufacturer:

 

“Emu oil is just one of a number of mediums currently being employed by a

growing number of physicians in alternative and conventional health care.

 

Because so many users of emu oil often appear to experience complete alleviation

from various conditions, the question arises: How does the oil work? The

explanation, according to Dr. Leigh Hopkins, consultant pharmacist and Clinical

Professor of Pharmacy, lies within what happens with various pathologies and how

the oil may help bring those back into correct balance.

 

In a recent interview, Hopkins offered to share a macro view of a plausible

explanation of the discerned benefits of emu oil in relation to various skin

conditions. Hopkins emphasized that today's modest explanation of how emu oil

works may be modified as additional research is documented.

 

Dual Delivery

 

Today, emu oil is being used around the world by a growing number of

individuals, from pharmaceutical and cosmetic product manufacturers to family

physicians and compounding pharmacists.

 

" It's clear from documented 'before and after' pictures and from what we hear

and see - sorting through real activities of the oil verses coincidental, chance

occurrences - that healing is occurring, " says Hopkins. " At the same time, when

the oil is used in a topical application on normal or dry skin, for example,

there's also an improvement in the quality of the skin itself that occurs fairly

quickly. This indicates that there are two processes going on, one of which

deals with the epidermis (skin's outer layer), which is essentially a dead layer

of protein. "

 

Hopkins explains that the epidermis serves as the protective function of the

skin and is analogous to fingernails, toenails or hair - all being nonviable

cells.

 

" While you may be able to hydrate the skin - plump up the epidermis and make it

softer and smother - that's incidental to the healing benefit that's also being

seen with the oil, " adds Hopkins. " The healing has to be occurring within the

dermis (skin's lower levels), and in the cells that are viable, that is, cells

that can divide. Those are the cells from which healing has to come. And those

cells, depending on the nature of the wound, may have to differentiate into

other types of cells. So, the healing process occurs from the dermis and emu oil

has an impact on healing at the dermal level. "

 

Because activity is occurring at both the epidermis and the dermis levels,

Hopkins comments that there could be two entirely different mechanisms - two

explanations, and probably multiple different explanations for the activity at

either site. Putting it simply, there's no single explanation as to the function

of emu oil as it relates to the restoration of various conditions.

 

Oparating Accross A Broad Range of Mechanisms

 

Numerous companies now offer pure emu oil. This is because emu oil has been

documented to exhibit anti-inflammatory, moisturizing, and significant epidermal

proliferate activity (among others), and the oil appears to promote faster

healing of burns with less pain and scarring.

 

" It's that broad group of activities that make the emu oil appear to be snake

oil, " says Hopkins. " If we take a series of skin conditions that respond in

various ways to emu oil, such as dry skin, various bums, ulcers, wounds, eczema,

psoriasis, etc, each of those conditions in the hands of conventional medicine

has its own unique therapeutic approach. That the oil works where we use a

number of different types of drugs is what makes it hard for the conventional

medical community to accept that the oil can be operating across a broad range

of disease conditions by way of some common action within the dermis layer of

the skin. "

 

Hopkins relates that one problem the emu oil industry faces is coming up with

explanations as to why the oil helps alleviate various pathologies. He remarks

that the industry has to explain fundamental mechanisms under which the oil is

working.

 

" And those more fundamental mechanisms are really basic nutritional mechanisms -

fats that are in emu oil, " says Hopkins. " And the ratios of fats in emu oil are

critical to the normalization of the healing process. I don't want to single out

a single fat, that's probably incorrect, it's more the composition of fats in

emu oil (linoleic, oleic, palmitic, stearic, palmitoleic) or a ratio of

saturated to unsaturated fats or some other relationship within all these fats

rather than a specific fat that's in the oil. If it were such that it was a

specific fat, there are a lot of ways to get those fats from other oils. But the

ratio of those fats are likely to be important to the benefits that we see with

the oil. "

 

Examining the Healing Process on A Cellular Level

 

Dr. Hopkins, whose undergraduate work was in biochemistry, relates that there

may be numerous explanations for emu oil's specific influences on body cells

themselves and on receptors within the cells. He also mentions that emu oil does

more than just prompt healing.

 

Says Hopkins, " It's clear that the oil does work and this would have to be

labeled in a macro and fundamental level of healing. And we don't necessarily

want to think of emu oil as stimulating healing -it can be retarding or blocking

an excess activity as well as stimulating under performing activity. Any and all

of those depends on the underlying explanation for a specific disease. "

 

Hopkins says that this may be the case with the use of emu oil with psoriasis or

other skin maladies. " In certain conditions, taking psoriasis (a condition that

responds in a variable fashion to emu oil) for example, in which there are

specific cells that are out of control - those cells need to be tamed, if you

will. "

 

According to Hopkins, a better way to describe what emu oil does for the body

would be that " ...emu oil helps to normalize basic cellular function, and enable

the body to progress with what should be normal healing. "

 

" We know from our experiences that the oil does work and it does normalize

various conditions, " continues Hopkins. " And I emphasize normalization. With emu

oil we can typically increase or decrease whatever is going on because often the

problem is because something Is either not performing well enough, or another

system is over performing. For example, an excessive inflammatory condition is

an over performance of a system that's designed normally to produce an

inflammatory response because that's part of the body's normal response to some

invasion of organisms or other foreign substances. The concept of normalization

involves progressing past that inflammatory phase and moving into the next phase

of the response - to whatever has been presented to the body. And sometimes

things get hung up in those different phases and you have to give them a little

boost - get them moving. "

 

Hopkins relates that at the root of almost every chronic and acute skin

condition is a cell line or a hormonal response that is exaggerated, which needs

to be kicked into its next phase of healing. He adds that these are complex

phases of healing that go on and are incompletely understood.

 

The fact that emu oil appears to help normalize basic cellular function in so

many skin ailments is outstanding. Emu oil has been successfully employed on

various types of burns as well as on abrasions and also gaping wounds.

 

Regarding the use of emu oil on deep wounds Hopkins says, " It's very impressive

when you see after a certain amount of time that you can have an essentially

completely healed system - everything has been replaced, the muscle, the tendon,

the nerves, the blood vessels, the skin - repaired and grown back. The very

impressive ability of the oil is that it seems to encourage those systems to

work in concert as they're designed to do. When you're deficient in certain

components, that system then doesn't heal normally, quickly, etc. and the oil

simply helps to orchestrate the healing process. "
