I like Emu - put it on your scalp too it's good for disolving old grease and has all kinds of good fatty acids and vitamins in it ....g

I tryed the Emu oil :D I really liked it! I found just a dab helps with dryness and is not greasy. I use Emu Essence, pure emu oil. It is $30 CDN for 2 fluid ounces :-/ so I am using it sparingly. To oil my whole head I will stay with the Amla which is $2.49 CDN for 200 ml 8)

I should have clarified that I only use the emu the night before (or before a workout) then it gets washed out - other than that I use it as a penetrating agent for other oils and EO's.

Alas, being the big wuss that I am I probably won't rebuy Emu as I'm finding out that they really do get the oil only from killing the birds albeit for food - it's a specialty market that I don't want to encourage and jojoba (wax actually), seabuckthorn, and a whole heap of other oils work almost as well.

It's good though - so I certainly wouldn't recommend against it for anyone else ...g

What exactly is emu oil? I"ve been hesitant to try it because it comes from emus and is it emu sebum kind of?
