Egg oil has been used in traditional medicine in Jewish, Greek, Arab, Latin, Chinese, and Indian cultures for thousands of years. This high value oil is composed of essential fatty acids (omega 3, 6 and 9), cholesterol, and antioxidants such as: biotin, xanthophylls lutein & zeaxanthin.

Ecovatec’s Egg Oil is 100% pure, extra virgin, egg oil which has not been denatured by high heats and harsh solvents. This ensures that the fatty acids, cholesterol, and antioxidants are available to the body.

The main hair applications of egg oil are as a hair and skin cosmetic. It has been used to treat hair loss, dandruff, grey hair, and frizzy hair as well as to restore moisture to the hair and scalp. In skin care it has been used as a moisturizer, antioxidant, skin penetration enhancer, conditioner, anti-bacterial agent, and anti-ageing agent. It has traditionally been used on skin conditions such as burns, eczema, dermatitis, and many others.

Taken internally it is also thought to treat indigestion, improve memory, and support immune system function.

The oil can also be used as a carrier oil for essential oils such as tea tree oil (for anti-bacterial effects) or lavender (for calming effects).
