The refining of emu oil isn't the huge complicated affair that it is
made out to be on most emu oil websites. You'll see terms like
"molecularly distilled", "triple-refined", and "pharmaceutical grade,"
among others.

Actually, when oil is properly refined it should be lab tested to
verify that it meets or exceeds the oil standards which are set by
the American Emu Association (AEA). Oil that meets these standards
is "Grade A" emu oil and suitable for any application you desire. So,
when you purchase emu oil, just verify that it is certified by the AEA.

The refining of emu oil (any oil) simply involves the removal of
impurities and this requires a couple of different methods of filtering
the oil at certain temperatures. One method of filtering is to separate
the impurities by spinning the oil in a centrifuge and the other
method is to press the oil through a dense set of paper filters.

Chemicals should NEVER be used in refining to "kill" the impurities
in oil of any kind. Not only would you still get the impurities (they're
just unable to grow and make the oil get rancid), but you get the
chemicals.....very UNdesirable.

At the refinery, after the oil is processed through a centrifuge at the correct
temperature, a series of filters for this step in the refining process. The oil is
then tested in our laboratory to insure it meets the AEA oil standards.
