Egg Oil Skin Care
Egg oil has many applications in skin care and can be used as an excipient/carrier in a variety of cosmetic preparations such as creams, ointments, sun-screen products or lotions where it acts as an emollient, moisturizer, anti-oxidant, penetration enhancer, occlusive skin conditioner and anti-bacterial agent. Egg oil also helps the texture, lubricating and anti-friction properties of creams and lotions for skin. As an occlusive agent, it protects against dehydration without disturbing the pores and is easily incorporated in topical preparations since it forms stable oil in water emulsions.
In Indian, Japanese, Unani (Roghan Baiza Murgh) and Chinese traditional medicine, egg oil was traditionally used as a treatment for hair care where it is noted to be effective for hair care since it nourishes the scalp, promotes new hair growth, reduces hair fall and retards premature graying. It also improves the texture of hair making it thicker, reduces dandruff and prevents split ends or damage due to chemical coloring.
