Description

Organic Unrefined Neem Seed Oil

Description – Neem oil is used in agricultural and gardening applications as a natural insecticide and fungicide. It does have a very pungent aroma that many people dislike, however this becomes less pervasive when neem is used as an ingredient in soaps, cream or lotions. Our organic neem has a high 3000ppm azadirachtin content. We do not recommend taking neem oil internally, for internal use it is best instead to take capsules or make a tea from the leaves.

The pant matter used to produce organic oils is grown without the use of chemical pesticides and herbicides. There are also strict controls related the growing and extraction of the oil to minimise negative environmental impact and ensure sustainability.
