Cold Pressed 500ml

Escentia Cold Pressed Neem Oil is a versatile carrier oil valued for its distinctive properties and broad range of applications. Sourced from the seeds of the Azadirachta indica tree, this 500ml bottle provides a generous supply for extended use in skincare, haircare, and natural pest management formulations.

Cold pressing preserves the oil's naturally occurring compounds, including azadirachtin, nimbin, and essential fatty acids. Neem oil has been used for centuries in traditional Ayurvedic practice and is recognised for its antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties. Its rich, earthy aroma and deep golden-green colour are hallmarks of a minimally processed, high-quality extraction.

In skincare, neem oil may help soothe dry, irritated skin and support the management of conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and acne-prone complexions. It is also widely used in scalp treatments to address dandruff and promote healthier-looking hair. As a carrier oil, it blends well with other oils and essential oils for customised formulations.

Beyond personal care, neem oil is a popular choice for natural gardening enthusiasts in South Africa. When diluted appropriately, it can be used as a plant spray to deter common garden pests without relying on harsh synthetic chemicals.

This 500ml size is ideally suited for regular users, practitioners, or anyone who incorporates neem oil into multiple applications. As with all concentrated botanical oils, a patch test is recommended before widespread topical use. Store in a cool, dark place to maintain freshness and potency.
