The Original Organic Handmade Neem Oil Soap
Neem Oil has been used in India for hundreds of years for many health issues to include skin ailments. Neem contains antibacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal, antihistamine and anti-microbial properties making it perfect for problem skin issues. Neem Oil comes from the Neem Tree which can grow quite large. Their leaves are also used to treat eczema and psoriasis to name a few but the oil derived comes from their olive-like fruit. Neem Oil is shown to help prevention of diseases because of its ability to inhibit bacterial growth and modulation of genetic pathways. It also contains compounds of nimbin, limonoids and quercetin which what give it the properties mentioned above. It is a dark greenish color with a strong earthy scent.
Neem oil is highly sought after as a natural skin care regimen as it is high in anti-oxidants and carotenoids which help protect the skin from oxidative stress and damage. Neem Oil is also high in Vitamin E, triglycerides, and calcium so it can penetrate the out layers of the skin to help heal and repair skin damage. It is also used for its insecticidal and anti-inflammatory properties (one reason we use it in our Dog Soap, Skeeter Eater and Tick-no-Stick). Traditionally Neem Oil has been used to treat skin ulcers, skin diseases, wounds and itching.
So now that you have the "skinny" on Neem Oil you may wonder why you don't see more of it. Well, I think the answer could be two-fold. It has a powerful earthy aroma which can be off putting. We use essential Lavender and Lemon Oil not only to help with the strong scent, but also because these oils are said to have their own therapeutic properties. Crushed Neem leaves are added within and on top for a soft exfoliation. Neem oil is often used for eczema, psoriasis and fungal issues of the skin and those that use it can benefit from its medicinal properties.
Another reason is because people are just now beginning to learn the benefits of organic and natural ways to help heal without relying on pharmaceuticals that can contain substances that can actually be harmful when used for any length of time.
Like all of our organic handmade bath and body products we have developed our own proprietary recipe using this ancient oil to help with all skin issues.
