I use emu oil for some dry patches on my arms and on my hands at night. I've never noticed it to darken my skin and didn't know it could do that.

Emu is a biological healing oil. There are a few other skincare boards online, one is dedicated to the use of actives, aha's, bha's, copper peptides, and other actives that tighten, brighten, et al...this oil, along with squalene, are used instead of moisturizers because they penetrate and hydrate better, and they push the copper peptides into the skin for remodeling purposes, which include lightening hyperpigmentation, reduce/eliminate scarring etc.. Emu, similar to but not the same as jojoba oil which is a wax, mimics our skin oil production. It shouldn't cause darkening; the exception I've read about, which isn't due to Emu but is due to deeper layers of scar tissue beginning to resurface as they're exfoliated from deep within the dermis.
