INGREDIENT!!
Maintaining healthy skin and hair is a challenge these days given the heat, dust, pollution, stress and long
working hours in air-conditioned surroundings. Artificial (chemical) hair and skin treatments are not the
permanent solutions for everyday wear & tear. In fact, chemicals damage the hair and skin irreparably. To
fight this challenge, nature has blessed us with a promising ingredient in the form of egg oil.
Egg oil also known as Egg yolk oil (Urdu: Roghan Baiza Murg) extracted from yolk of chicken eggs -mainly contains triglycerides with cholesterol and phospholipids. Studies have shown that cholesterol is
essential for the skin and hair. Egg Oil is a high quality and functional source for highly bio-available
cholesterol. Cholesterol is readily absorbed into the skin and scalp. Personal care products containing
cholesterol have shown great promise in healing dry and damaged skin.
Egg Oil is also rich in essential poly unsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) like Omega-3 & Omega-6. These fatty
acids are essential to maintain the normal growth of cells.
Happy And Healthy Skin
Skin is an audacious organ. It protects us from environmental challenges and infection. Having a healthy skin is the
most important aspect of good health. It is ironic how we use chemicals for repairing our skin and they instead
damage it beyond repair. Egg oil has all the properties that replenish the skin.
It is an excellent emollient and has the properties of a moisturizer because of which it is used in a variety
of cosmetic preparations such as creams, ointments and lotions. It helps the texture, lubricating and antifriction properties of these creams and lotions. It is also a penetration enhancer which makes it an
important ingredient in sun-screen products. Egg oil acts as a compatible dermatological agent. With fine
spreading, it reduces the scaling effect of many cosmetic formulations, thus helping to avoid heat
congestion. Testing indicates that Egg Oil exhibits anti-inflammatory & anti-bacterial properties. Studies
also indicate that Egg Oil may dramatically reduce scarring and reduce the appearance of aging scars.
As an occlusive agent, egg oil protects against dehydration without disturbing the pores and is easily
incorporated in topical preparations since it forms stable oil in water emulsions. . In a scientific study done
on human skin cells, it was found that after 24 hours Egg Oil treated cells produced less Reactive Oxygen
Species (ROS). ROS is the major cause of ageing. Hence, egg oil has potent anti ageing properties. Thus
egg oil has a dramatic ability to nourish, moisturize and improve the condition of the skin while
maintaining youthful glow.
Egg oil is used in products meant for the treatment of burns and wounds because of its excellent healing
and anti-inflammatory properties. Whenever there is any injury or infection, inflammation ensues.
Inflammation is a protective attempt by the organism to remove the injurious stimuli and to initiate the
healing process. Without inflammation, wounds and infections would never heal. Inflammation involves
pain. Redness, heat or fever and swelling, all these are signals for the soldiers of the body or the white
blood cells to gear up for action. The major mediator of inflammatory response is a molecule called
interleukin 8 or IL 8. Egg oil was found to stimulate the release of IL 8. Thus Egg Oil stimulates the
inflammatory processes and inhibits bacterial growth at the site of injury and also reduces pain.
Egg oil aids re-epithilisation and it was found that the wound closes earlier in burn patients treated with
egg oil than those treated with silver sulfadiazine ointment, the later being commonly used. The biological
effectiveness of egg oil was tested in patients with scars. Egg oil improved blood circulation in the scar
tissue and also in the adjacent healthy tissue. It minimized the formation of scars.
Beautiful hair is a much coveted accessory. Egg oil helps the hair to recreate itself and maintains the
texture of hair with the presence of the important elements. Egg oil is an excellent natural hair nutrient for
dry scalp which nourishes hair and promotes growth of healthy hair giving natural softness. It is ideal for
use in hair care since as it acts as a humectants drawing moisture in as it conditions. Egg oil averts falling
of hair, prevents premature graying and strengthens hair with regular use. It has superior nourishing and
conditioning property which help in reducing the onset of premature hair loss. Egg oil also promotes the
growth of new hair by nourishing the hair roots.
Egg oil is a completely natural product. It finds its reference in texts that date back to thousands of years.
Egg oil also has its reference in Alchemy (originated circa 400 BC) in regard to its effectiveness in
regeneration of skin and cell membranes. OLEOVA has been used in treating wounds and injuries since
centuries. Ambroise Par used a solution of egg yolk, oil of roses, and turpentine for war wounds, an old
method that the Romans had discovered 1000 years before him. He published his first book 'The method
of curing wounds caused by arquebus and firearms' in 1545. It aids faster healing by re-epithilisation,
keeping the wound sterile due to its anti-bacterial action and minimizes scars. In Indian, Japanese,
Chinese and the 2000 year old Unani-tibb or Greek system of medicine (Roghan Baiza Murgh), egg oil
was traditionally used as a treatment for hair care. For treatment of Scabies in Spain, Oil of Egg Yolk was
used along with oil of castor and roses in ancient Andalusia.
It Is Natural, It Is Safe!
VAV Life Sciences has developed a cold process technology to extract egg yolk oil from chicken eggs.
This process does not use any chemicals and preserves the therapeutic properties of the oil. This novel
ingredient branded as OLEOVA (Egg Oil) has a distinct advantage of being safe to use even by people
allergic to eggs since it is free of egg proteins.VAV Life Sciences Pvt Ltd is a pioneering name in the field
of Active pharmaceuticals Ingredients (APIs), food ingredients and nutritional supplements.

Today we face the challenge of chronic conditions that modern life has created. Heat, dust, pollution,
stress and long working hours in air-conditioned surroundings have made it tough to maintain and
defend our health and beauty. To worsen the situation, a number of toxic chemicals are being
indiscriminately used in regular cosmetic products which most of us swear by. It's proven scientifically
that chemicals in cosmetics are linked to disorders like dermatoid allergies, cancer and birth defects.
Most of these chemicals are not listed by manufacturers in the ingredients list. Phthalates, parabens,
toulene, diethanolamine, sodium lauryl sulphate top the charts of the harmful chemicals in cosmetic
products. As a customer we fail to look beyond the media hype when a product is launched and are
largely unaware of the presence of such chemicals in our creams, lotions and shampoo. These
cosmetics in which we place our trust for healing our body actually damage it irreparably. Artificial
cosmetics blemish rather than replenish the skin in the long run.
Glow Natural
Skin is the largest organ of the body. Any chemical applied on skin will find the largest surface area to
enter the body. A very simple test to see how readily our skin absorbs, rub garlic on the sole of your
feet and within 20 minutes the odour fills the mouth! From the skin the chemical readily enters the
bloodstream. Majority of these chemicals are toxic and many are carcinogenic. So by using artificial
cosmetics on skin we are simply loading our body with toxins.
Egg oil makes for an excellent ingredient in a skin cream formulation. It is an excellent emollient and
has the properties of a moisturizer because of which it is used in a variety of cosmetic preparations
such as creams, ointments and lotions. It helps the texture, lubricating and anti-friction properties of
these creams and lotions. It is also a penetration enhancer which makes it an important ingredient in
sun-screen products. Egg oil acts as a compatible dermatological agent. With fine spreading, it
reduces the scaling effect of many cosmetic formulations, thus helping to avoid heat congestion.
Testing indicates that egg oil exhibits anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties. As an occlusive
agent, egg oil protects against dehydration without disturbing the pores and is easily incorporated in
topical preparations since it forms stable oil in water emulsions. Thus egg oil has a dramatic ability to
nourish, moisturize and improve the condition of the skin.
incidence of suicide among burn victims is quite high. Those who do survive the physical and
psychological torture are scarred for life and needless to say that this whole process is arduous for
them.
Egg oil is a life saver for burn patients. It is a natural emollient and can be used externally on burns. It
reduces pain and aids faster healing by re-epithelialization keeping the wound sterile due to its antibacterial action. It is also a useful first aid treatment for immediate pain relief and prevention of
blisters. The essential fatty acids of the yolk are responsible for the reduction in catabolism as well as
increased matrix synthesis and promotion of new skin growth. This minimizes the scar formation. As
opposed to skin grafting, egg oil does not change the texture of the new skin. It is also useful in
treating burns caused by radiations such as those caused during cancer treatment.
These properties of egg oil make it suitable for treatment of wounds as well. Egg oil has been used in
treating wounds and injuries since centuries. Ambroise Par used a solution of egg yolk, oil of roses,
and turpentine for war wounds, an old method that the Romans had discovered 1000 years before
him. He published his first book The method of curing wounds caused by arquebus and firearms in
1545.

Ingredients
6 chicken eggs
Steps
1.
1
Hard boil 6 eggs for 15 - 20 minutes. Peel after natural cooling and cut in
halves.
Ad
2.
2
Separate the yolk (yellow portion) from the whites (albumen) with a
spoon. You may use the whites for any food application instead of wasting.
3.
3
Mash the yolk into a shallow frying pan. Try to break down as finely as
possible.
4.
4
Heat on low flame. Continue to cook until the entire mass becomes dark
and starts to smoke/smell. Stir and mash periodically.
5.
Persist. Continue heating until all the proteins are burnt black and the oil
oozes out. It will take a long time before this happens. At this stage you will
observe a lot of pungent smoke.
6.
6
Cool. Allow the pan to cool to room temperature.
7.
7
Filter the oil. Squeeze the oil, filter it through a fine cloth or a strainer. Store
in a clean, dry glass or ceramic (not metal or plastic) bottle. Use a nylon or
synthetic cloth to filter as cotton tends to absorb a lot of oil which would be
wasted. If there are any solid particles you see in the oil, filter again to ensure
you have only clear, transparent oil. Avoid any exposure to water or dipping
anything inside the bottle for a longer life. You can store refrigerated up to
three years or at room temperature up to one year. If handled carefully, the
oil remains sterile up to 5 years.
8.
8
Utilise. Use this oil for a head massage once a week for hair fall, dandruff &
graying or to treat acne. Always use a clean, dry spoon to prevent moisture
contamination.
You can also use this oil on minor burns, cuts and wounds.

Abstract
In this research, the extraction of egg-yolk lecithin with ethanol was studied. Extraction was
performed with deoiled and undeoiled yolks and with heated and unheated yolks. The yield of
the extracted fraction relative to the initial material, phospholipid (PL) purity, and cholesterol
content of both the PC-enriched fractions and the remaining PL fractions were determined. The
yield and PL purity of the PC-enriched fractions obtained from the undeoiled yolks were 23.9
and 35.7%, and those obtained from deoiled yolks were 13.5 and 53.3%. The recovery of total
PL in the two fractions was higher from the undeoiled (70%) than from the deoiled yolks (60%).
However, heating had a negligible effect on PL extraction. Better enrichment of PC was
observed by extraction from the undeoiled than from the deoiled yolks. The cholesterol content
of the PC-enriched fraction obtained from the undeoiled yolks was much higher than that from
the deoiled yolks.
