What does Neem Seed oil do?

Nicknamed “Indian Lilac” and thought by many to have divine origins, the Neem tree is said to have been a safe haven for the Sun when (according to Indian mythology) it had to escape from the malicious powers of demons.

The legendary Neem tree has come to symbolize good health and protection. Throughout history, Neem has been used to make herbal beauty and first-aid treatments for numerous skin ailments. The main skin-nourishing nutrients in Neem are Palmitic Acid, Oleic Acid, Linoleic Acid, Stearic Acid, Vitamin C, and other carotenoids.

Neem can soothe red, itchy, inflamed skin and works as a natural substitute for anti-aging products. It deeply penetrates skin to moisturize, restore youthfulness, minimize wrinkles, and stimulate collagen synthesis.

In hair, Neem Oil balances pH, helping to prevent dandruff and enhance sheen. It detangles hair and promotes the growth of stronger, more illustrious locks.
