100% Pure Neem Oil | Acne & Antibacterial | Cosmetic-Ayurvedic Grade
100% Pure | Unadulterated | No Dilution | Best Results
India's most powerful antibacterial botanical oil — over 4,000 years of Ayurvedic use, backed by modern dermatological evidence.
Pure Neem Oil (Azadirachta indica) is arguably India's most important medicinal plant oil — used for over 4,000 years in Ayurveda for skin, hair, and pest control. It is cold-pressed from the seeds of the Neem tree and contains Azadirachtin (antibacterial, antifungal), Nimbidin (anti-inflammatory), and a rich fatty acid profile (oleic, stearic, palmitic) that nourishes skin while fighting bacterial and fungal concerns.
In cosmetics, neem oil is one of the most versatile active carrier oils — technically a carrier oil rather than a true essential oil, but used in the same targeted, low-percentage fashion due to its potency. Its distinctive pungent, garlicky-herbal smell is its one limitation — always pair with strong fragrance or essential oils to make finished products user-friendly.
KEY BENEFITS & PROPERTIES
Azadirachtin: Primary active — complex limonoid compound with antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-parasitic properties
Nimbidin: Anti-inflammatory compound — reduces redness, swelling, and irritation on acne-affected skin
Fatty acids (oleic + palmitic): Deep moisturisation and barrier support alongside the antibacterial action
Antifungal: Effective against Malassezia (dandruff), Candida, and ringworm
Anti-acne: Penetrates pores, reduces sebum, kills acne bacteria — one of India's most trusted traditional acne treatments
