Neem oil comes from the seed of the tropical neem tree, also known as Indian lilac. Neem oil has a wide history of use as a folk remedy around the world, and has been used to treat many conditions. These trees grow mainly in the Indian subcontinent.
Neem oil is rich in fatty acids such as palmitic, linoleic, and oleic acids, which helps support healthy skin. The oil is, therefore, a popular ingredient in skin care products.
Ancient Ayurvedic texts describe Neem trees as ‘Sarva Roga Nivarini’ which means Universal Healer or curer of all Ailments. It is often referred to as the “village pharmacy” as each part of the neem tree is used to improve well-being and treat ailments. All of Neem’s antiseptic, antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal properties are found in this Neem Oil.
