Emu oil shampoo is promoted as a natural moisturizer that contains several nutrients that nourish the hair and scalp. Websites that sell emu oil shampoo claim that it speeds up hair growth, although this is not supported by any clinical evidence.
Claims
Manufacturers of emu oil shampoo claim it targets hair roots and repairs damaged hair. It is also said to prevent hair loss, reduce split ends and improve hair growth.
Properties
Emu oil used in the shampoo does have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. It also contains omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.
Process
Emu oil is processed from the fat of emu meat and refined. The oil is then mixed with a shampoo solution.
Warning
Because emu oil is taken directly from emu meat, emu oil shampoos are not vegetarian or vegan-friendly. According to the website Emu-Oil, not all emu oil shampoo manufacturers refine the oil in the same way and some forms of emu oil can contain contaminants.
