Now Solutions, Neem Oil, Made from Neem Seed Oil, 1 fl. oz

Amazing stuff!! I had a wart on the top of my hand for months and this name oil using it daily with a short time of a month or more had it totally gone. I can’t say that I like the odor. It really stinks, but I would use it at night before bed and it really did the job. The war is gone totally and has not reappeared and it has been over a month.. I have no idea how it works for other things but if you need a warrant removed, this is great

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.

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.

Yes, as most people have mentioned the smell is quite pungent if not putrid if you were to try to use it on its own, but the benefits of this oil is worth the effort in using with other carrier oils. Due to hormones of my pregnancy I have developed perioral dermatitis. A condition that forms mostly in women and children with compromised immune systems. I had a friend with a child who developed the same dermatitis as a result from her chemotherapy. It is horrible to look at, embarrassing, and can hurt or itch when really inflamed. If you've ever had it, you know what I'm talking about. Nothing cures POD except time, good treatment of your skin, for some people harsh antibiotic medicines, and in my case once the baby is born my hormones should adjust and the POD should go away. I have researched and tried everything short of harsh medications. While somethings helped the POD nothing has made more of a healing impact on my skin than neem oil. It has reduced the dermatitis to almost nothing and has healed my skin in a way that I cannot complain about. I am not fully healed, again, my hormones adjusting after the baby will help with that; but as long as I'm using this oil I am so much closer to being healed than I have ever been in the months I've been dealing with this skin condition. To deal with the oil - which is sort of like garlic-dirt smell, but not in a good way - I use other oils mixed with a homemade salve. I use a neem oil soap first. Once my face is clean I put on my topical medicine Elidel, which is in a class of medicines called topical calcineurin inhibitor. Next in my palm I mix the smallest bit of lavender oil (reduces inflammation and smells 100% better than neem oil), tea tree oil (also smells better and helps with any breakouts caused by the POD), calendula oil (sooths the skin, reduces inflammation, healing), and just the smallest bit of neem oil. Next I mix this in my hand with a salve I made on my own made from 100% shea butter, coconut oil, bees wax, vitamin e oil, and some essential oils that are healing to the skin. I mix this all in my palms and apply it to my face. I don't smell the neem oil often, sometimes if I use a tiny bit too much or I go out directly in the sun I might smell it. Make sure if you use essential oils that you don't put them directly on your face but mix them with products or oils (shea butter, coconut oil, etc.) so to not burn or irritate your face. If you use the neem oil correctly it WILL heal you or nearly heal you of your skin conditions. In addition, from what I've read neem oil will also act as a hormone disruptor to fleas, lice, and scabies. It will reduce inflammation and irritation on the skin for various conditions. It has been being used for centuries to cure skin issues and while the smell is awful, it works. Use in small amounts continuously with other nice smelling oils and you should be seeing results very quickly.

I had a toenail infection from a nail salon. My big toenail was black underneath, super thick & starting to peel. It was also quite painful when I worked all day. I stopped getting pedicures until I could get rid of it. Tea tree oil every day & night stopped it from getting worse but didn’t make it go away & it was stressing me out. I thought I’d never get back to normal, but I really didn’t want to take any anti-fungal medicines. Did my research & came across neem oil. I used to live in Mexico & whenever I had a bug bite or skin rash, I would boil neem leaves & apply them topically to my skin. It worked, smelled chivey & took quite a few applications. I knew it was effective for fighting things like that. I wasn’t expecting a quick fix, usually natural remedies take consistency & dedication. I’m not kidding, I applied this 3x & almost all the black was gone!! My nail also began to heal & slowly look more normal. I was thrilled!!! This smells like peanut butter & chives to me. The smell is strong when you first apply but lessens. I actually grew to like the smell once I saw how well it was working! And yes, it’s annoying that it thickens up, but just run the bottle under some hot water. Stop being whiny babies people...this stuff works!! 😊👍🏼😜❤️

First of all, I love NOW Foods for their affordable, natural products. I buy their products all of the time. I was interested in Neem Oil as an alternative to what I usually use for breakouts on my face, which is Emu Oil, since it is supposed to have some similar benefits for the skin. Here's the deal: I cannot stand how this product smells. The first time I used it, I literally spent all day trying to figure out where that horrid onion-butter smell was coming from and assumed that it had somehow gotten into my clothing from cooking the night before.... Nope, the next day as I was re-applying the Neem Oil to my face it hit me right in the nose - this stuff smells to high heaven like onions that have been sauteeing in butter for 5 minutes. It does not dissipate either. I tried adding lavender essential oil to it (also from NOW Foods and I love it), but I would have to add much more lavender than I am comfortable with in order to combat the smell (essential oils need carrier oils and I was approaching a 50:50 ratio of lavender to neem). Does it clear up my skin? Absolutely. Does it heal up my skin? Definitely. Do I use it? Reluctantly. I hate to waste a product, especially one that actually works. I have to spray a bunch of scented floral or thermal mineral waters on top in order to distract my nose from the grotesque smell and then I go to bed and wash my face in the morning. There is no way I'm ever going to use this first thing in the morning and try to walk around all day smelling like a French kitchen.... I am wondering if this is just how Neem smells? But I know that it doesn't - I have used it in toothpaste and shampoo and it only had a spicy, earthy smell... It comes from the Indian Lily plant. So is this just a bad batch of oil? Perhaps, but how would I know?

I purchased for my eczema, and I believe this is 100% real Neem oil. It most definitely moisturized my skin upon applying it, I love the feeling of it. I felt my skin so smooth and soft, and helped a bit with the itchy painful feeling of my eczema patches. However, as many said before, it stinks. I ended up tossing it in the trash. As good as the oil might be, I just couldn't take the smell. At first when you open the bottle, it smells reminiscent of sunflower butter. Which I thought, okay, this isnt so bad. But after a few hours it changes and has a garlic, onion smell, I can't describe. It's horrible. I finally trashed it after this: One morning, I went to shower, came out applied a little Neem (mixed with lavender oil to help mask the stench) I applied to patches on my leg, my butt and my back. At some point I was sitting with my 8 year old on the couch and she said, "Ewww mom, go wash, your hiney smells like trash!" I was shocked, then realized it must be the neem she smells. I played dumb and said "What are you talking about, it showered" She says, "I smell your hiney, it smells like garbage." Embarrassed....I went to shower AGAIN...and threw away the bottle. I'm glad we are in quarantine and my kid told me this, versus being in the street and strangers thinking I dont wash my ass. NEVER AGAIN NEEM. NEVER AGAIN.

Quality dependable brand. Doterra and young living have nothing on Now Foods essential oils. I have been a faithful customer for years and always impressed. 100% pure highest quality, no fillers. I use everything they make including supplements. Once you go Now Foods you will never waste your money on other brands. The absolute best and price that will always win. I use them in holistic health and difuse oils in my home, I clean with them and use them in so many ways. Neem is excellent. Currently diluting it and using it on my French Bulldogs paws.

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.
