Neem oil (Azadirachta indica) is a rich, cold-pressed carrier oil packed with fatty acids and bioactive compounds. In Ayurvedic tradition it’s prized for its antibacterial, antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties.

Scientific studies confirm neem’s ability to inhibit acne-causing bacteria and fungal growth, making it valuable for skin and scalp health. For skin, neem can help calm acne, eczema, and psoriasis by reducing redness and promoting healing. It also supports wound repair. On hair, neem oil can alleviate dandruff and itchy scalp by targeting fungus and yeast (e.g. Malassezia) that cause flaking. It may help deter lice and strengthen hair follicles.
