I've been using coconut oil on my skin. How does emu oil compare to coconut oil?

What sets emu oil apart from coconut oil is its chemical composition, which is recognized by our skin and therefore "allowed in". This is why it is able to be absorbed so deeply into our skin. Coconut oil doesn't have this ability. By working both inside and on the surface, emu oil can produce results that surpass those of coconut oil. It is also able to carry other ingredients that are mixed with it deep into the skin. In fact, it's so effective as a carrier oil that researchers are studying the use of emu oil as a carrier oil for prescription drugs.

Gently massage into the affected areas of your scalp for a minute or two. You don't need much oil at all as it spreads quite well.
