NOW Foods Solutions, Neem Oil, 100% Pure, Made From Azadirachta Indica (Neem) Seed Oil, Natural Relief from Irritation and Other Skin Issues, 1-Ounce, Ingredients: 100% pure neem oil

This is a great oil. I personally use it in the bath to help with dry itchy skin. I follow it up with a home made lotion with a few drops of Neem oil in it. Has kind of a different smell but not bad especially when only using one drop per bath. I love the dropper lid it makes it easy to get the exact amount of oil I want to use. I really like now products they have a large selection for a great price. I like to put the oils I use to rub on topically in roller bottles. I dilute them 1:1 when I put them in the bottle. It is then easy to pick up the roller bottle and use without having to go through the hassle of diluting it each time I use it. It also keeps the oils off my fingers so I am less likely to rub my eyes and get essential oils in them. I love to have them diffusing throughout my house and I think they make a world of difference when I have a cold and diffuse them in my room at night. So what’s the deal with the FDA and essential oils? The FDA regulates products by their intended use; Cosmetic, drug, both cosmetic and drug, or other like laundry soap. How does the FDA determine a products intended use? By the marketing claims made in the labeling, advertising, and websites regarding those products. So what is the difference in how a product is classified? If the product is intended only to cleanse the body, make the person more attractive, or make them smell better it is a cosmetic. Cosmetics do not have to have FDA approval before they go on the market. The FDA will however take action if they have reliable information showing that it is unsafe for consumers. If the product is intended for a therapeutic use such as treating or preventing a disease then it is a drug. If it is classified as a drug it must meet strict safety guidelines as well as have ample research done to prove that it treats or prevents what it claims to treat or prevent before being placed on the market. [...] So why is this effecting essential oils? Currently essential oils are classified as cosmetic which means companies do not need FDA approval to market and sell their product. So why not market essential oils as drugs and have the FDA start regulating them? It take around 12 years and costs drug companies millions in product research and testing to get a newly developed drug approved by the FDA. [...] If you think the price of essential oils is expensive now the price would sky rocket if essential oil companies had to pay to go through the process of acquiring FDA approval prior to marking their product. So what does that mean for us as essential oil consumers? I personally love essential oils and am in no way ready to give them up or pay triple the price for them. It does mean however that we as consumers need to use them responsibly. Just as a medical doctor would never prescribe a patient a medication without knowing from experience or looking up the medication dose and route in a PDR. You should never use an essential oil for a supplement in your health maintenance without first looking up the dose and route in which it should be used. It is also important to know what contraindication or when you should avoid specific oils. I know that looking up information on essential oils can be hard to find especially with the FDA looking into essential oil companies. That is forcing the removal of all information regarding the therapeutic properties of essential oils. I personally have a book that I use to look up the dose and route as well as which oils to avoid based on my state of health. I know there are several books and websites out there with this information if you are using essential oils please take the time to look them up and use them responsibly.

I use this oil on bug bites as here in South Texas, the mosquitos are bad. It helps with she selling welts I get from mosquitos. Stops the itching almost immediately. The smell is like garlic but wears away after you get used to it. I have also used it on fire ant and bee stings as I’m allergic to all three. The bug bites are usually gone by the next day. A little drop goes a long way. You can use it with a carrier oil or just as it. Comes with a dropper so that’s a plus as well.

Everyone complaining about consistency needs to read the dang bottle-this oil solidifies at room temp. Put the bottle in hot water or in front of a heater and the expected oil consistency comes back. BUT. Oh my sweet lord-no one warned me about the smell. It's a smell you can almost taste. Tried to tell myself it smelled like peanutbutter. Def smells nutty. Smells like sweaty, rotting testicles. Horrific. Definitely get a strong-smelling oil to help with the scent. I'm using tea tree. It's supposed to be good for so many things but i may just use this on outdoor plants

Yes, neem stinks. It always has. Always will. If you can't get past that, then move on to another treatment because neem is not going to start smelling any better. I've used it for several years and I have to admit that I don't care for the scent but it works so I'm willing to ignore the way it smells in lieu of results. However, the scent seems to dissipate after awhile and no one close to me (husband) has mentioned that I reek of old rotten onions so my scent masking with other oils seems to have worked. You can mask the scent with a strongly scented essential oil that is also useful for the same purpose as what you are using neem. For example, lavender is good for skin, peppermint is good for mouth care, rosemary for hair etc so mix in these essential oils to reduce the odor of neem without sacrificing it's efficacy. Now has good products of each. I use neem in toothpaste, deodorant, facial skin care, rashes, any skin issue, on finger and toenails to strength them, on scalp, and mixes with shampoo. Neem is useful in healing skin issues and creating/restoring the balance of the normal functions of your skin and related structures such as interior of mouth, scalp, nails and hair. It improved a friend's psoriasis on the leg, moderate degree of psoriasis and about 4-5 inches diameter. It didn't cure it but made it much better fairly soon as in 1-2 months of daily use. However, over time, that patch on her leg has almost disappeared to the degree that she believes long-term use of neem has helped restore her skin integrity. Mind you this was not immediate, ie took 6-8 months and she uses it regularly to maintain. I make no claims but do know this one case of neem helping psoriasis. It has helped reduce scalp itching and hair thinning for someone else I know, but frankly, she was a hot mess of stress after losing her husband (and stress can cause scalp/hair problems) but her scalp itching subsided and her hair thinning slowed after neem. It's one of my go-to products for any skin rash and I use it preventatively for general skin care. See ayurvedic information online re neem as they've been using neem for centuries. It's not a miracle cure, virtually nothing is, but it helps many issues and actually fixes some of them.

It's pure oil and smells like leaves. I was afraid of finding what I read in other reviews, but I'm satisfied with the purchase. As for the smell, I've never smelled neem oil before. It smells like leaves. Nothing you can't stand.

it really has a strong smell, so strong that you might wanna puke but you could tell its really pure neem oil!

It may not smell the best but really like the results!

中身がでにくい。少し固まったオイルなのでかき出すのが大変でした

Stuff is super bitter. Doesn't work as well as was hoping to stop biting my nails (too oily), but the product itself is good.

Arrived WAY faster than expected. I just with it wasn't as pricey.
