Answer
Coconut oil an dolive oil will have about the same benefits. Green tea has many good benefits - antioxidant, helps burn a few more calories a day, etc.
There are many different causes of dark circles under the eyes. What appear to be under-eye circles are sometimes just shadows cast by puffy eyelids or hollows under your eyes that develop as a normal part of aging.
Here are some of the most common causes of true under-eye circles:
Allergies
Atopic dermatitis (eczema)
Heredity â dark under-eye circles can run in families
Lifestyle factors, such as smoking and drinking alcohol and caffeinated sodas
Nasal congestion (which dilates and darkens the veins that drain from your eyes to your nose)
Pigmentation irregularities - part of your genetics
Sun exposure, which prompts your body to produce more melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color
Thinning skin and loss of fat and collagen â common as you age â which make the reddish-blue blood vessels under your eyes more obvious
Mild to moderate dark circles often respond well to simple and inexpensive treatments, such as:
Cold. Try a cold compress, two chilled teaspoons or a bag of frozen peas wrapped in a soft cloth to temporarily reduce dilated and discolored under-eye blood vessels. Or, try a cooled, used teabag.
Extra pillows. Elevate your head with two or more pillows to prevent puffiness that develops when fluid pools in your lower eyelids.
Extra sleep. Although short nights don't usually cause under-eye circles, a lack of sleep makes you paler and more hollow-eyed, so shadows and circles you already have are more obvious.
Dark glasses and sunscreen. Although a tan might hide dark circles in the short term, in the long run, the extra pigment it produces can make circles worse.
Saline washes or sprays. Rinsing your sinuses with a saltwater solution (mix 1/4 teaspoon sea salt with 2 cups warm water) or over-the-counter saline spray can help relieve nasal congestion.
Cosmetics. Hundreds of skin creams that claim to reduce or prevent under-eye circles crowd department store and drugstore shelves. The results of one well-publicized study showed that a cream containing vitamin K, vitamin C, vitamin E and retinol was moderately effective in treating under-eye circles.
Camouflage. The right concealer can do just that â hide dark circles. If the circles under your eyes are bluish, use a peach-colored concealer, not one that's white or gray. And avoid scented products and those containing salicylic or glycolic acid, which can irritate delicate eye tissue, making redness and swelling worse.

Answer
Emu oil - There is some evidence to suggest that the oil may have medicinal benefit. It is frequently used topically to soften skin and is frequently found in ointments for dry cracked heels.
Coconut oil - Coconut oil is excellent as a skin moisturiser.
Almond oil - Couldn't find anything about skin/hair use.
Carnellia oil - Is a cooking oil.
