Neem oil, Part : Fruit

Indigenous to India, the neem tree is mostly grown as a shade tree in a variety of habitats. From the seeds a unique, cold-pressed oil is expelled which contains natural constituents which have specific benefits for skincare. Scientific research has confirmed that Neem seed oil is non-toxic to mammals and may be a very effective organic antiseptic, antifungal, antibacterial, antiviral, dermatological and dental agent. It is also widely hailed as a natural insect repellant. This oil has been used for centuries in traditional Indian medicine to aid in the healing of topical skin disorders such as eczema, psoriasis, rashes, burns and acne. It is rich in fatty acids and glycerides and together with its healing properties, provides an excellent natural moisturizing base for skincare formulations.

CAUTION: Use at up to 10% in skincare formulations. Up to 3% in hand and foot care product and at 1 - 2% as an insect repellant. Considered to be safe in all normal topical applications.
