BioNat Neem
- INCI Name
- Melia azadirachta
Treasured as a beauty-enhancing, health-boosting oil in the Ayurvedic tradition, Neem oil shares many of the same properties as tea tree oil, but without the harsh terpene content. One primary advantage of Neem oil is its soothing, high fatty acid content making Neem oil especially gentle and nourishing when used for itchy, sensitive or dry conditions. Skin aliments, especially ongoing, chronic problems, often respond very well to Neem oil.
