Botanicals from the East: Neem

A popular medicinal herb in Ayurveda, Neem has been used in traditional medicine for almost 5000 years. This is hardly surprising considering it has more than 130 different biologically active compounds which give it powerful properties for a variety of ailments as well as for use topically for the best skin and hair care of your life. 

Rich in Vitamins C and E, and essential fatty acids, it works as a great moisturizer. The fatty acids help seal hydration in the skin to keep it plump and give you a dewy complexion. The antioxidants fight off free radicals and the oxidation process that age skin helping you achieve youthful and bright skin. It also increases the production of collagen resulting in more elastic skin and hence reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. 

Neem also works well to reduce acne due to its antibacterial and antimicrobial properties. It also reducesredness and inflammation that is associated with acne. Neem is also very effective as both an exfoliator and toner, helping extract impurities out of the skin resulting in the clearing of black and whiteheads as well as tightening large pores. Neem also helps even skin tone by reducing blemishes, dark spots, and scarring. 

Neem is a great ingredient for scalp and hair care. A powerful natural herb, it fights off dandruff with its antifungal and antibacterial properties. It also works extremely well in promoting healthy hair growth and repairing damaged hair. The regenerative properties of Neem help reduce hair fall by enhancing blood circulation and encouraging hair growth. Its high content of fatty acids helps seal in moisturize in the hair strands resulting in deeply conditioned and smooth hair. The overall result of regular use of Neem is a healthy scalp free of infections and bouncing, voluminous hair that is healthy and lustrous. We carry a range of shampoos and conditioners by 100% Pure® that harness the powerful properties of Neem to give your hair and scalp the deep care they deserve.

It also helps fight plaque buildup and the formation of cavities. It reduces tooth decay and treats gingivitis. It also whitens teeth making Neem a common ingredient in toothpastes and mouthwashes.Experience these benefits yourself in the range of toothpastes and teeth whiteners by Dr. Brite available on our website.
