Y Not Natural Pure Emu Oil - Organic Moisture for Face, Body, Hair, Scalp & Nails - Rich in Omega 3-6-9, Vitamins & Essential Minerals - Australian Emu Oil (1000ml) 33.81 fl oz -Unscented Review
Our verdict
This is a large-format, 1000 ml Australian emu oil sold at a premium sticker price, though the per-ounce cost is actually competitive once you account for the volume. It's a niche, animal-derived oil rather than a plant-based one, so it won't suit shoppers who specifically want vegan formulas.

Overview
["Y Not Natural's emu oil comes from Australia and ships in a large 1000 ml (33.81 fl oz) bottle, priced at $169.99. At that size, the effective cost works out to roughly 17 cents per milliliter, which is actually less expensive per ounce than many smaller-format facial oils in this category.", 'The listing highlights omega 3-6-9 fatty acids, vitamins, and essential minerals, and the oil is unscented and positioned for face, body, hair, scalp, and nails. Recommended uses on the listing include scars, and the product benefits are centered on hydration.', 'With 1,100 reviews and a 4.4 average rating, it has a respectable track record, though it ranks well outside the top tier of Facial Oils at roughly #1,981. Stock is also currently limited, with the listing showing only a handful of units left.']

- Solid 4.4 rating across 1,100 reviews
Cons
- Animal-derived ingredient, not a fit for vegan or plant-based skincare routines
- High upfront price of $169.99, even though the per-ounce cost is reasonable
- Ranks well below the top facial oils in its category (#1,981)
- Listing shows limited stock, which may affect availability
Performance notes
Emu oil is naturally high in omega 3, 6, and 9 fatty acids, which is why it's often marketed as a multi-purpose moisturizing oil for face, body, hair, and nails rather than a face-only product. Because it comes from an animal source rather than a plant, its fatty acid profile differs from botanical oils like rosehip or squalane, though the general goal, supporting the look of hydrated, smoother skin, is similar.
What buyers say
At 1,100 reviews and a 4.4-star average, sentiment is generally positive, but this product has a much smaller review base than the bestsellers in this category, and its #1,981 category rank suggests it's a niche pick rather than a mainstream one. Limited current stock also points to lower overall turnover.

Frequently asked questions
Is emu oil vegan or cruelty-free?
No. Emu oil is rendered from emu fat, so it is an animal-derived ingredient and not suitable for vegan skincare routines. If a plant-based oil is a requirement, a rosehip, squalane, or moringa alternative would be a better fit.
Is this large 1000 ml bottle a good value?
At $169.99 for 1000 ml, the per-milliliter cost is actually lower than many smaller face-oil bottles once you do the math. The tradeoff is a much bigger upfront cost and a larger bottle to store and get through before it degrades.
Does this oil have a scent?
No, it's labeled unscented, which makes it a reasonable option for people who want to avoid fragrance in their skincare or haircare products.
