Bear Oil(கரடி எண்ணெய்)

Bear oil, also known as bear grease, is a traditional natural oil derived from the fat of bears. Historically, it was used for various purposes, including as a skin moisturizer, hair conditioner, and leather treatment. Rich in fatty acids, bear oil was valued for its emollient properties, helping to hydrate and soften the skin and hair. However, its use has declined significantly due to ethical and conservation concerns related to hunting bears for their fat. Today, alternatives like plant-based oils or synthetic products are more commonly used for similar purposes.
