Mink oil (mink fat)

Often in many animals or plants, in addition to official scientific names, there are a dozen folk names. We think that many residents of our latitudes know what kind of animal mink is, but not everyone knows that this is the common name for a whole genus of mammal animals called weasels or choris. Minks in science are called the predatory mammal of the species Mustela lutreola and the Kunitz family.

Minks live mainly in Eastern Europe on the banks of rivers, where the animal can always find food in the form of crayfish, fish, as well as frogs. It is worth noting that mink is known for its beautiful fur. Until recently, mink fur mining was carried out on an industrial scale. However, a sharp decline in the number of animals gave impetus to a decrease in production and the adoption of measures to restore the population.

It is worth noting that at all times mink oil or mink fat was especially popular and in demand in our latitudes. In terms of its biological structure and properties, mink oil (mink fat) belongs to the class of animal fats. In turn, animal fats mean natural fatty compounds that are contained in the fatty, as well as bone tissues of various species of vertebrate animals, including fish, as well as reptiles and birds.

Mink oil (mink fat) is a type of animal fat that is obtained from the processing of mink skins. Mink oil (mink fat) is a ready-to-eat product that is obtained from animal raw materials or mink fat tissues that are located in the subcutaneous layers of the animal. As a result of scientific research, it was found that the chemical composition of mink oil (mink fat) is incredibly similar to human fat.

Mink oil (mink fat) is most often used in the production of cosmetics and medicines. Extremely rarely, the most valuable mink oil (mink fat) is used for culinary purposes. The unique benefits of mink oil (mink fat) are due to the chemical composition of the product, which is enriched with a rare type of polyunsaturated acids, as well as glycerides. Mink oil (mink fat) is characterized by a sufficiently high penetrating ability.

This means that mink oil (mink fat) quickly penetrates deep layers of human skin, while moisturizing it and saturating it with essential biologically active compounds. In addition, mink oil (mink fat) contains a record amount of palmithioleic acid in its chemical composition. No other species of animal fat can boast such a level of this compound. The main feature of mink oil (mink fat) can also be considered the ability of the compound to protect against harmful sunlight.
