Therapeutic Benefits of Neem Oil Soap

Neem oil soap is derived from the bark, seeds and leaves of the neem tree. Used for centuries as a mild antiseptic, neem oil soap has so many therapeutic uses that it is known as the "village pharmacy" in many parts of the world.

Acne

Neem oil has antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties that make it an excellent treatment for acne. It is non-drying and soothing to all types of skin.

Psoriasis

Neem oil has anti-viral properties. Combined with other herbal ingredients, neem oil soap is often used as a cleansing wash for psoriasis-prone skin.

Lice

Lice, bedbugs and other unwelcome bodily guests can be eliminated with neem oil soap. Added to bathwater or used as a wash, it can be used on humans and pets.

Dandruff

Shampoos containing neem oil soap work to relieve dry, itchy skin that can cause dandruff. It can be used daily to control this condition.

Sensitive or Dry Skin

Neem oil soap will not over-dry skin. It cleans thoroughly but gently, and can be used on children and babies.

Cuts and Abrasions

For minor cuts and abrasions, a wash with neem oil soap will kill bacteria on the skin. It doesn't sting like some antiseptic washes.

Sunburn

Neem oil soap is a good choice for washing sunburned skin. Wash in cool water for fast sunburn relief.
