Emu Oil Question

Does anyone know if pure Emu Oil is compatible with CPAP and cannulas? I know that it is a component of of one of the moisturizers but I am wondering if it is okay to use by itself.

Thanks

It is an animal fat or oil- great healing properties and is one of the oils that our skin absorbs the fastest. As far as xPAP masks, it would depend on the amount of emu oil in the product. I wouldn't put pure emu oil immediately before putting my mask on, but I would wash my face with an emu oil soap. Generally, I try to put any moisturizers or oils on at least 30-1hr before I go to bed so its pretty much absorbed or if I'm cutting it close, I try to avoid the mask area when I moisturize and wipe off any in the mask contact area.
