Neem, Virgin Oil
Description
Neem Virgin Oil is packed full of essential fatty acids. It contains around 50% Oleic Acid which means Neem Virgin is super moisturising and great for dry skin. It is also rich in Palmitic and Stearic Acid.
As well as these essential fatty acids, it contains antioxidizing Vitamin E. All these components mean that Virgin Neem is an excellent choice for skincare as it can help fight damage causing free radicals in the skin. Its emollient properties mean it makes an effective skin conditioner. It doesn’t mix with water so when applied topically in a thin layer, it seals in moisture and creates a protective layer on the skin.
Neem Virgin is a wonder oil for your hair and scalp. It is super conditioning to the hair and is also great for preventing frizzy hair. It repels moisture which causes frizz and protects the hair from environmental elements.
Virgin Neem has a very strong pungent odour. Don’t let this put you off though. The benefits are worth it! Neem oil has a soft, waxy consistency at room temperature, for a free-flowing liquid, stand container in warm water to turn to liquid state or dilute Neem with a carrier oil to a maximum of 10% Neem to 90% carrier oil and this will help reduce the pungency of the odour.
Certified cruelty free and vegan friendly.
