Why Neem?

Antifungal scalp

Effective against Malassezia (dandruff yeast), tinea capitis, and seborrheic dermatitis.

Lice treatment

Traditional and effective — neem oil suffocates lice and disrupts their reproductive cycle.

Antibacterial acne

Topical neem reduces acne bacteria. Spot-treat blemishes with diluted neem.

Skin infections

Useful for fungal infections, ringworm, athlete's foot — diluted in carrier.

How to use

  1. Dandruff: dilute 1:5 with jojoba, scalp massage 2× per week
  2. Lice: undiluted scalp application, cover 2 hours, comb out, wash
  3. Acne: dilute 1 drop in 5 drops jojoba, spot apply
  4. Always dilute — undiluted neem can irritate
  5. Patch test first; strong smell

Common questions

Why does it smell so bad?

Cold-pressed neem retains all its sulfur compounds. Refined neem is deodorized but loses efficacy.

Safe for pregnancy?

Avoid during pregnancy. Neem may have hormonal effects.

Safe for pets?

Topical use on dogs OK (helps with fleas). Toxic to cats.

Can I mix it into shampoo?

Yes — 5 drops per 200ml shampoo for an antifungal medicated wash.

About Neem Oil

Neem oil is cold-pressed from the seeds of the Azadirachta indica tree, one of the most important plants in Ayurveda. It carries a distinctive aroma and a rich profile of fatty acids and compounds such as azadirachtin that underpin its long traditional use for skin and scalp.

Brewoil's neem oil is cold-pressed and lab-verified for a pure, potent product.

Benefits of Neem Oil

Neem is traditionally used to purify and calm problem-prone, congested skin and to soothe a flaky, itchy scalp. It is a powerful, concentrated oil, so it is almost always diluted into a lighter carrier before use.

Many people add a small amount of neem to a hair-oil blend to keep the scalp clean and balanced.

How to Use Neem Oil

Blend half to one teaspoon of neem into two to three teaspoons of a lighter carrier such as coconut or sweet almond oil. Massage into the scalp or apply to affected skin, leave 30 minutes, then wash thoroughly. Use a couple of times a week. Its strong aroma fades after washing.

Who It's For

Neem suits anyone managing a flaky, itchy scalp or congested, problem-prone skin. Patch test before first use; for persistent conditions, consult a doctor.
