December 07 2023 – Magda Radtke

Neem Oil has been used in natural skin care for thousands of years. It is highly treasured in India and Southeast Asia for its medicinal value and has been used extensively in Ayurvedic treatments for many skin issues. JustNeem developed enriched Neem products to exploit the incredible potency of Neem oil in order to give your skin the ultimate protection. Our unique product compositions provide the ideal natural skin care solution for problem skin. Scientific studies have shown Neem to have properties that are:
  • Antiviral – inhibits the growth of viruses
  • Anti-fungal – inhibits the growth of fungi
  • Antibacterial – destroys the growth of bacteria
  • Analgesic – provides pain relief
  • Anti-inflammatory – reduces certain signs of inflammation, swelling or tenderness
  • Antimicrobial – destroys the growth of microorganisms

1. Anti-Aging with Neem

Neem Oil is used in skin care because it's loaded with nutrients. Neem contains extraordinarily high levels of antioxidants that help to protect the skin from environmental damage. Neem also contains carotenoids (similar to carotene) which provide high antioxidant compounds that help defend the skin against age-promoting free radicals. Neem Oil is especially high in important fatty acids and Vitamin E and is easily absorbed into the skin without leaving skin greasy. Once absorbed, these powerful properties work to rejuvenate the skin’s cells and restore elasticity. When used regularly, this blend of compounds makes Neem perfect for smoothing wrinkles and fine lines while helping to prevent the signs of aging. The saturation of antioxidants and vitamin E will help restore a youthful glow to a dry or damaged skin and balance skin tone.

2. Improve Acne Prone Skin and Defeat Acne with Neem

Neem Oil is ideal for acne-prone skin because it can help to soothe irritation and inflammation, clear up pimples and remove bacteria from the surface of the skin that can cause more breakouts. Neem Oil contains an aspirin-like compound that helps with acne conditions by ridding the skin of acne-causing bacteria. It also helps reduce redness and inflammation. The high fatty-acid content in Neem Oil is said to prevent and treat scars from acne and is non-comedogenic. Neem's leaves are also an excellent exfoliant that can be used in a facial masque to pull out impurities and tighten pores. Our organic AcNeem Facial Cleansing Bar and our enriched Neem oil, Neem Cure, products have pure botanical ingredients and are effective and gentle. Ideal for getting acne under control naturally.
I have used this oil for my acne for the past 4 months and it works amazingly! Now I have started to use it almost everyday on any skin problem like acne, itching skin, burns, rashes. I highly recommend this product. I never write reviews but this time I do. It’s amazing & worth spending on! - PRIYANKA -

3. Neem soothes Dry Skin & Eczema

Eczema is a very common inflammatory skin condition characterized by extremely irritable, dry, red, itchy skin. At it's worst, skin really flares up, and can become raw, and cracked and can cause secondary infections. Eczema is a very common inflammatory skin condition characterized by extremely irritable, dry, red, itchy skin. At it's worst, skin really flares up, and can become raw, and cracked and can cause secondary infections. The root cause for eczema lies in our genes, so eczema usually runs in families. Neem Oil can relieve eczema symptoms, but it will not cure the root causes of eczema. But due to its ability to reduce inflammation and heal abrasions, it can be very soothing for eczema sufferers. The root cause for eczema lies in our genes, so eczema usually runs in families. Neem Oil can relieve eczema symptoms, but it will not cure the root causes of eczema. But due to its ability to reduce inflammation and heal abrasions, it can be very soothing for eczema sufferers. The nimbidin and nimbin are two anti-inflammatory compounds that are found in the Neem Oil which help to relieve swelling and redness. A third is Quercetin, which is well known as a compound that supports the body’s ability to respond to inflammation by inhibiting both the manufacture and release of histamine and other irritants. Emollients are what dermatologists recommend for eczema. Substances that fill the gaps and cracks in the skin prevent moisture loss and restore the protective barrier. Since Neem is especially high in important fatty acids and vitamin E and can quickly penetrate outer layers of skin, it is extremely effective in healing dry and damaged skin. Its strong antiseptic properties will also help to keep bacteria and secondary skin infections at bay.
Neem Cure is amazing! It cleared up the eczema I had on my face and I have tried everything! It took about a week to clear up completely, but my skin did feel better almost immediately. I use it every evening and I love the way it makes my skin feel in the morning. I can’t wait to try the clay mask! Highly recommend! - Britt -

4. Neem helps with Nail Fungus, Ringworm & Athlete's Foot

Nail fungus, ringworm and athlete's foot are all common fungal infections of the skin. Since Neem extracts are some of the most powerful natural antifungal plant extracts around, Neem is a great natural alternative to over-the-counter creams from the drugstore. Gedunin and nimbidol, compounds found in the leaves of the neem tree are powerful antifungal agents that destroy fungi, which cause athlete's foot, ringworm, and nail fungus. Neem extracts have proven in laboratory experiments to kill more than 14 cultures of common fungi that invade the skin.
I suffer from athlete’s foot. After a few weeks of using Neem Cure, my feet became pink and soft. My skin is starting to peel off and the bacteria between my toes are leaving. I love Neem Cure so much! The smell is not very pleasant but the results are worth it. The customer service is also great! I highly recommend this product. - Wendy -
