Organic Neem Vegetable Oil

Neem oil is a powerful vegetable oil, recognized for its purifying and protective properties for blemish-prone skin and dandruff-prone scalps. Extracted by cold-pressing the seeds of the Azadirachta indica tree, native to India, it is distinguished by the presence of azadirachtin and other neem-specific limonoids. Its very strong odor (garlic-sulfur) makes dilution strictly necessary. 50ml. Organic Ecocert. Herbes et Traditions.

Cosmetic profile and properties

• Rich in oleic acid (omega-9, 40-55%) and palmitic acid: an emollient fatty acid profile, but it is above all its specific unsaponifiables (azadirachtin, nimbidin, nimbin) that make neem's cosmetic appeal unique.
• Neem-specific active ingredients (limonoids): azadirachtin and its derivatives are powerful active ingredients with no equivalent in the plant kingdom, responsible for the oil's purifying and protective properties.
• Dandruff-prone scalp care: applied as a pre-shampoo treatment on the scalp, it is recognized for its purifying properties on scalps prone to dandruff and itching.
• Blemish-prone skin care: used highly diluted (5 to 10% in a neutral vegetable oil) as a targeted treatment for acne-prone skin and blemish-prone areas.
• Semi-solid texture at room temperature: neem oil solidifies below 20°C. Simply hold it in the palm of your hand for a few moments to liquefy it.
• 50ml: Organic Ecocert. Herbes et Traditions.

FAQ

Can neem oil be applied pure to the skin?
No, pure neem oil is too concentrated and too odorous for direct skin use. It should always be used diluted at 5-20% in a neutral vegetable oil. This dilution retains all the active ingredients while making the treatment pleasant to use.

Does the smell of neem disappear after application?
It gradually fades after absorption but does not disappear completely. For daytime use, adding a few drops of lavender or tea tree essential oil to the mixture effectively masks the odor and complements the purifying treatment.

Is neem oil effective against dandruff?
Neem is one of the most widely used vegetable oils in natural cosmetics for dandruff-prone scalps, thanks to its specific limonoid active ingredients. Regular pre-shampoo care (1 to 2 times a week) is generally recommended to see progressive results.
