Therapeutic Benefits of Neem Oil Soap

Neem oil soap is derived from the bark, seeds and leaves of the neem tree. Used for centuries as a mild antiseptic, neem oil soap has so many therapeutic uses that it is known as the "village pharmacy" in many parts of the world.
  1. Acne

    • Neem oil has antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties that make it an excellent treatment for acne. It is non-drying and soothing to all types of skin.

    Psoriasis

    • Neem oil has anti-viral properties. Combined with other herbal ingredients, neem oil soap is often used as a cleansing wash for psoriasis-prone skin.

    Lice

    • Lice, bedbugs and other unwelcome bodily guests can be eliminated with neem oil soap. Added to bathwater or used as a wash, it can be used on humans and pets.

    Dandruff

    • Shampoos containing neem oil soap work to relieve dry, itchy skin that can cause dandruff. It can be used daily to control this condition.

    Sensitive or Dry Skin

    • Neem oil soap will not over-dry skin. It cleans thoroughly but gently, and can be used on children and babies.

    Cuts and Abrasions

    • For minor cuts and abrasions, a wash with neem oil soap will kill bacteria on the skin. It doesn't sting like some antiseptic washes.

    Sunburn

    • Neem oil soap is a good choice for washing sunburned skin. Wash in cool water for fast sunburn relief.
