Neem Vegetable Oil – Azadirachta Indica Seed Oil
From Organic Farming · 100% Pure
It is not an oil for everyone. It is an oil for those who know what they want.
Neem does not charm with a delicate scent or velvety texture. It presents itself as it is: powerful, distinctive, unmistakable. In India, it is called sarva roga nivarini — "she who cures all diseases." It is an exaggeration, of course. But behind that hyperbole lie over four thousand years of daily use in one of the oldest and most sophisticated medical traditions in the world.
The sacred tree of India
Azadirachta indica grows in South Asia and Southeast Asia, but it is in the Indian subcontinent that it has written its deepest history. Every part of the tree — leaves, bark, seeds, roots — has been used for millennia in Ayurvedic medicine, skin and scalp care, and even in Hindu religious rituals.
Classical Ayurvedic texts — including the Charaka Samhita and the Sushruta Samhita, written over two thousand years ago — describe Neem as a remedy for skin diseases, inflammations, and body care. Indian women traditionally used it to protect their hair and scalp. In rural Indian villages, Neem twigs were used as natural toothbrushes — a practice that continues today.
In 1992, the United States National Research Council published a report dedicated to Neem, calling it "a tree that could help save the planet" — recognizing the extraordinary potential of a plant known by tradition for centuries.
Why the skin loves it: the benefits
Intense soothing and calming action
Thanks to its composition rich in nimbidic acid and nimbidol — characteristic compounds of Neem — it helps soothe reddened, irritated skin and persistent skin discomfort. Particularly suitable for reactive and sensitive skin that requires targeted care.
Deep nourishment and skin barrier support
Rich in oleic acid (omega-9) and linoleic acid (omega-6), it helps nourish the skin's hydrolipidic film and reduce transepidermal water loss, leaving the skin soft and elastic.
Antioxidant properties
Contains natural vitamin E (tocopherols) and polyphenolic compounds that help protect the skin from oxidative stress, promoting firmer and more radiant skin over time.
Recommended for impure skin and blemishes
The natural composition of Neem makes it particularly suitable for skin prone to impurities and irregularities. It helps promote skin balance in the most problematic areas.
Natural stability
Its composition makes it naturally resistant to oxidation, with a shelf life longer than many other vegetable oils.
⚠️ Neem oil has a strong and distinctive scent — garlicky and earthy — which is a sign of its authenticity and non-refinement. For those who wish to soften it, it can be diluted with a neutral carrier oil such as Sweet Almond or Jojoba oil.

- Contributes to nourishing and rebalancing dry and irritated scalp

How to use it
Face and body — targeted use: Apply a small amount to the areas of interest, pure or diluted 10–20% in a neutral carrier oil. Leave to act and massage until absorbed. Not recommended as an all-over face oil due to the strong scent — prefer localized application.
Body — general treatment: Dilute in a carrier oil such as Sweet Almond or Jojoba (10–20% Neem) and apply to the areas to be treated with circular motions.
Hair — pre-shampoo mask: Dilute with a neutral carrier oil and apply to scalp and lengths. Leave on for 30–60 minutes with a warm towel, then wash normally with a gentle shampoo. Repeat 1–2 times a week for optimal results.
Massage: Preferably use diluted in a neutral base oil for targeted therapeutic massages. The intensity of the scent significantly decreases with dilution.
In DIY cosmetics: Powerful active ingredient for creams, serums, and body treatments. It is recommended to use it in low percentages (5–15%) within more complex formulations to modulate the scent.
In case of irritation, discontinue use. Keep out of reach of children. Do not use pure on very sensitive skin without preliminary testing.
