ladies where are you purchasing your emu oil from? tia

I get mine from http://stores.ebay.com/Essential7-com-Oils-and-Butters because they have decent prices and also have EOs that I like, as well.

They also have a non-ebay site: http://www.essential7.com/

There are so many places to get it online and on Ebay, but some people just charge way too much.

ladies where are you purchasing your emu oil from? tia

There are numerous sites that sell Emu Oil, however, it's not all of really good quality. I went to the American Emu Associations Web site. On this link you'll see company categorized geographically that are CERTIFIED Emu Oil Producers. From there, you can choose which is best for you as far as location and costs.

For the record, I purchased mine from: Jurrasic Secret Emu Products. They are local to me here in San Diego.

Will do. I'll give the Amla Oil a purchase after the first of the year. I WILL get this PJism under control in 'o6!

Really! I did not know she added those oils to the Roots products. I just placed an order an order with her. Next time I will try the Roots serum.

thanks sweetie!

Girl, I luvs me some emu oil. I love that is has the creamy texture.

But, this weekend, my boyfriend asked me if Emus are killed to get the oil.

They are.

For Amla oil, I use Qhemet's Amla pomade. Leaves my scalp and new growth soft and smooth.

Back to topic.

Hits: Nothing new to add.

Misses: Mango & Lime Cactus Leave-in - hated the texture, made my hair feel producty.
Garnier soft curl cream - soft at first but the moisture didn't last.

 

[HoneyDew]

Well, I looked it up last night and, yes they are killed, but they are killed for meat and the oil from their skin is a by-product. I guess it also depends on where you get it. Emu is really only eaten in some countries. I would wonder if they are really being killed for food in all Emu farms.

 

[Ms Red]

My PJism has creeped to a halt since I found my regimen.

But I did discover this Organic Kid's hair grease without mineral oil or petroleum. It includes natural ingredients and herbs and I love it.

On my Christmas wishlist: Maxiglide
Keracare Conditioner
Paul Mitchell Skinny Poo
Mizani Rose H20 Hairdress

Oh well for stopping my PJism.

 

[kitkat3ny]

Hits:
Cantu-After Shampoo Rinse out Conditioner- very moisturizing
Nexxus Phyto Organic Hydruss Moisturizing shampoo- excellent moisture and clean feeliing.
Nexxus Phyto Organic Kelate Purifying Shampoo- Great chelating/clarifying shampoo
Nexxus Phyto Organic Enphuse Intensive Reconstructor

Misses:
Cantu Moisturizing Cream shampoo- It does leave the hair feeling really clean, but my hair feels a little dryish but it's not awful. Put it this way, i'll finish the bottle and probably never buy it again. It's not worst than other shampoos I have bought though.

Nexxus Phyto Organic Nectaress Nourishing Conditioner- Left my hair to dry, not enough moisture. Extremely light conditioner.

 

[kitkat3ny]

ooh, forgot one more Definite Hits!
PhytoSpecific Relaxer II- I gave myself a home relaxer for the first time in my life last Friday with this and my hair looks the best it ever have. Really silky, smooth and shiney. I plan to do my own relaxer at home from now on w/ this relaxer. Now I don't have to have the looming doom of scissor happy stylist.

Suave Shea & Cocoa Butter body wash- great moisture and clean feeling

Palmer's Shea Butter concentration Formula for hands- Extremely thick, excellent for dry cracked hands

Lubriderm Skin Nourishing Moisturizing Lotion with Shea and Cocoa Butters- great for body and that winter ash. lol

Kiss MY Face- Pure Olive Oil bar soap- Extreme moisture, clean feelinig but not as squicky clean as the honey & olive bar soap. Don't get me wrong though, it does clean but you feel cleaner faster w/ the honey & olive bar

Kiss My Face- Honey & Olive Oil bar soap- extremely clean feeling, moisture but not as moisuturing as the pure olive oil bar.
