• Skin Health: Neem oil boasts powerful anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, which make it perfect for treating acne, eczema, and psoriasis. Its high concentration of essential fatty acids and vitamin E helps to restore the protective barrier of the skin, promoting healing and reducing scarring.

• Hair Care: An age-old remedy for dandruff and itchy scalp, neem oil strengthens hair follicles, reduces hair thinning, and restores original hues to gray hair.

• Oral Hygiene: Neem oil can be used in dental care as it helps fight against gum diseases, tooth decay, and bad breath. Simply adding a few drops to your toothpaste or mouth rinse can dramatically improve oral health.

Agricultural Use

Neem oil is highly valued in organic farming and gardening due to its potent insecticidal and fungicidal properties. Its use is both safer for the environment and effective against a wide variety of pests.

• Pesticide: Azarirachtin, a compound found in neem oil, is known to disrupt the growth and reproduction of pests like aphids, whiteflies, and beetles. This makes neem oil an excellent natural alternative to synthetic pesticides.

• Fungicide: Neem oil is effective against fungal diseases affecting plants, such as powdery mildew, rust, and black spot. By preventing and controlling these diseases, neem oil helps safeguard the health and productivity of plants.
