Neem Oil
What Neem Oil is & what it does
Neem Oil is pressed from the seeds of the neem tree (Azadirachta indica) and is rich in fatty acids and the characteristic compound azadirachtin. In skincare it is commonly used as an emollient and skin-conditioning oil, and it has a long traditional use in formulas aimed at oily or troubled skin. Its strong, distinctive odor means it is usually used at modest levels or blended with other oils. It appears in a small number of catalog products, with no specific concerns flagged.
