Mustela oil, the mink oil, is a fatty oil extracted from the fatty tissue of mink carcasses. Mink oil is used in cosmetic formulations. Mustela oil acts as an emollient (makes the skin supple and smooth) and hair conditioner (nourishes the skin; makes the hair easy to comb, smooth, soft and shiny and gives it volume).
