I have been using Emu Oil on and off for the past year, I purchased mine from "Roots" Organic Market- a organic grocery store in my area. It's a lot like Whole Foods but MUCH smaller.When I first started using the oil I mixed it with other oils like grape seed oil, Castor oil, Neem Oil (great growth aide) and Olive oil. The mixture can be used as a sealant, hot oil treatment or a scalp treatment, it's thick and gives the hair shine and moisture. Emu oil also has great hair health benefits; its an all-natural oil derived from the non-edible portions of the emu, which is a flightless relative of the ostrich (source). This morning I used alone it to stretch my twists and to give myself a scalp massage. I forgot how much I loved this oil. I was using my Emu Oil mixture as a growth aide and it worked well for me.I decided to share this information with you all because I received an email from a hair vitamin company (Hairfinity, I love their vitamins) with some AWESOME information about the versatile oil. I knew you ladies would find the information interesting, just like I did. :) To read about the benefits of using Emu Oil click the jump.

Emu oil has been said to be a natural beauty miracle that can reverse hair thinning and balding, moisturize skin, delay the signs of aging, protect skin from scorching sun, or soothe tired muscles. It's been clinically shown to help regrow hair and is a great total body moisturizer. Emu oil is almost 100% triglyceride lipid. This makes the absorption of emu oil into human skin faster and more effective.

I use emu oil as a growth aide for my edges. I haven't been using it consistently so I haven't noticed much of a difference.
I use a product on my skin that contains Emu Oil. It is a salve/balm called Suuthe by Mari Skin Repair. Emu Oil is amazing for lots of skin conditions. Eczema, Psoriasis, Dry Skin, Cracked Skin. If anyone is looking for a reliable source online for Pure Emu Oil, I buy mine at suuthe.com
Sorry to share sad news, but the Emu's do die in the process. They are raised for their meat and feathers. The oil is a byproduct. Aborigines have been using it for thousands of years with lots of success. I hope this was helpful.
I guess it all depends on who is raising the birds. The kind of Emu Oil I buy is cruelty free.
I would suggest you check with Pondview Emu Farm that makes the product you use. "Cruelty Free" can be a bit deceiving. Unfortunately, there is no way to get oil from a bird when it is alive. If there is, please let me know. I would pay a lot of money for it.
I will definitely look into that. Thanks! :)
My pleasure! I have worked in the natural skin care business for 6 years now and have learned that the consumer (you) always deserves to know the truth. Sincere respect :)
I have tried a bunch also (Olive Oil, Grapeseed, Castor Oil which was just yuck on skin, and Vitamin E) and I like this one the most. It is seriously SO lightweight and my skin absorbed it in no time at all. Wore it out during the day underneath sunscreen once and had no problems.
