PurCellin Oil™ 
PurCellin Oil™ is a laboratory recreation of the preen gland oil of ducks. During preening, a duck secretes oil from its preen gland and distributes it over its entire plumage in the familiar twisted-neck action that one often associates with ducks. This oil creates a thin, non-greasy layer on the surface of the feathers without which water would not pearl off and the bird would struggle to swim.

It is interesting to note that water birds, which inspired the development of PurCellin OilTM have been repaid the favor…

PurCellin Oil™ forms the basis for the method recommended by the National Wildlife Health Foundation for rapid restoration of oil-soiled water birds.
