Crocodile oil: Centuries Natural Remedy for skin problem
Crocodile oil may seem like a new ingredient for the beauty world but the truth is it's been used for centuries in places across numerous cultures including Egypt, China, Singapore, Philippines, South America, Mexico, Madagascar, Australia and South Africa to treat numerous skin conditions.
Crocodile oil is extracted from the fat of a crocodile. Crocodile fat is an animal by-product and until very recently has been discarded. The fat from the crocodile is collected when the meat is trimmed and prepared. There is only 600g of fat available from single crocodile.1 Crocodile oil and other natural oil mainly contains saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. The unsaturated fatty acids namely omega-3,-6,-7 and -9 are responsible for the positive effects on human skin2 (Croc city, 2012)
Crocodile oil has been used both as preventative and a treatment for a number of human ailments and conditions for many years and across numerous cultures, including Ancient Egypt.3
In ancient China, historical record shows that Chinese started consuming crocodile about 4,000 years ago since the Xia Dynasty. During the Shang Dynasty, crocodile meat became a precious choice in royal banquet.
The “Compendium of Materia Medica” by Li Shizhen in the Ming Dynasty states that crocodile meat is a valuable invigorant which can treat damp and skin blemishes. Regular consumption of crocodile meat can strengthen the body, remove speckles and beautify skin.4
