What is Neem Oil?
Neem Oil is a rich, natural oil cold-pressed from the seeds of the Azadirachta indica tree, also known as the Indian Lilac. It’s been treasured in Ayurvedic skincare for centuries thanks to its potent antibacterial, antifungal, and moisturising properties.
Where does Neem Oil come from?
Native to India and parts of Southeast Asia, the Neem tree has long been called “the village pharmacy” for its remarkable healing abilities. The oil is extracted from the tree’s seeds and has a deep amber colour with a strong, earthy aroma — a sign of its natural potency and purity.
