Emu Oil = NASTYYY smell???

[thinkpinkprincess]

I had ordered sometime last year some natural products in which emu oil was a foundational ingredient. I suppose I shouldn't reveal the name of the product company since the owner might be a member on this forum.... but anyway the package cost over $100 including shipping with 4 diff. products. It had some really good ingredients but it smelled sooooooooooo NASTY!!! Because of the emu oil! It smelled so bad that after a couple of washes I just threw everything away .... money gone down the drain
Anyway.... my question is where can I buy Emu oil that doesn't smell like nasty dead bird? lol because it is supposed to be really really good for hair growth but if I can't find some that doesn't have an odor... it's not going on my head lol

LOL!!!!

I just purchase a small bottle of pure emu oil at the vitamin shoppe yesterday. It was security sealed so I couldn't open it to smell. Took it home and busted open the seal.......eewwwwww.......

Sorry to say, that stuff smells awful. However, I have absolutely NO intention of throwing away my hard-earned money. That tiny bottle was expsensive, close to $15.00 for a few ounces. I've read about the great benefits to hair that emu oil has in it. I think I read it on www.healthyhairjourney.com. She puts emu oil in here hair products.

So.....here's what I'm gonna do....When I finish buying all my natural butters/oils and get ready to mix up that wonderful "home-made" moisturizer....I'll be sure to add the emu oil in it.

(By the way, I also bought a bottle of TeaTree oil....good grief!!! That stuff smells, too.....)

Hi! If not properly stored, emu oil can go rancid...just like EVOO. It may have exceeded its shelf-life. Anyhoo, I saw emu oil in the Vitamin Shoppe recently.

HTH

Hmm. I had put this oil on my wishlist. May have to rethink it.

It has a scent, but it's not something I'd ever throw my head back and gasp at. You all must have bad bottles.

Describe the smell. Mine smells a little like rubber.

I bought mine from From Nature with Love (http://fromnaturewithlove.com/product.asp?product_id=oilemu&searchflag=1) and it does not smell at all. It was refined so maybe that is the issue. I know I did not pay this current price ($40) so the price has really gone up. I bought mine in January I think and it was like $15 for 2 oz.

My Emu oil is also 100% pure and refined. I have never smelled it. It is odorless. You may have gotten a bad bottle. Sorry you had that experience.

I too buy the oil from the vit. shoppe. Never had one that smelled bad.

lol thank you for the replies! My products smelled like, dead animal... almost fishy... but worse. Even one of my friends commented... he was like ewwwwwww what's that smell??? he thought some food had gone bad in my room or something... it was really embarrassing.... lol
