Frequently asked questions about neem

Why is neem known for its purifying properties?

Its leaves and oil contain sanitizing compounds that have been extensively studied. In India, neem is a cornerstone of traditional cosmetics for blemish-prone skin.

Does neem have a strong scent?

Pure neem oil has a pronounced odor: in cosmetics, leaf extract, which is more olfactorily tolerable, or formulas that incorporate it in small proportions, are often used.

Is it suitable for sensitive, blemish-prone skin?

It is a gentle purifier, but highly reactive skin should first test it on a small area and combine it with soothing ingredients like centella.

What to combine it with?

Tea tree, zinc PCA, green clay as a mask, prickly pear to nourish without greasiness.
