Neem Oil is a potent carrier oil cold-pressed from the seeds of Azadirachta indica, characterised by a distinctive colour profile (Lovibond 1/4 cell: Yellow 20.0, Red 1.6, Blue 0.2) and a strong, characteristic pungent odour — properties that reflect its high content of azadirachtin, nimbin, nimbidin, and fatty acids including oleic and linoleic acid. One of the most pharmacologically active carrier oils known, Neem Oil has been used for over 4,000 years in Ayurvedic medicine for its powerful antimicrobial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and insecticidal properties.
Due to its potency and strong scent, Neem Oil is typically used at low concentrations (1–5%) blended with milder carrier oils in formulations targeting acne, scalp conditions, fungal skin issues, and pest-repellent personal care products.
