You’ve heard of neem oil and probably seen it, but just what is neem oil again? Neem oil has a myriad of uses, but most commonly it is known as a natural pesticide. This oil from the yellowish nuts of an Indian evergreen neem tree is also a powerful antioxidant.
Easy to use
Let’s face it, some plant pests are just ickier. And neem oil naturally eliminates them all. Whiteflies in your peace lilies? If you know the disaster spider mites can inflict on your indoor plants, you’ll be pleased to know that neem oil kills them, too. Aphids on your Climbing Don Juan rose? Spray some organic neem oil and take control of blackspot and powdery mildew.
Just one ingredient
The cold pressing of the neem nut releases the highest quality oil. That’s all you’ll find in this natural neem oil. Neem oil has a number of positive properties when it comes to dealing with your little garden pests and diseases. With a high concentration of this ingredient, this neem oil is used for pest control in organic farming. But, it’s also safe for your indoor plants, too.
Three-in-one
Because neem oil is so versatile you can use it on your ornamental trees, cacti, and all your fruits and vegetables. Since it’s organic too, you can spray it on your tomato blight, right up until the day you pluck those juicy heirloom beauties. With the six spray bottles, you can keep your vegetable garden, apple trees, roses, and indoor plants healthy all year. Simply coat the affected area every two weeks until your blooms and leaves are disease-free.
Unexpected benefit
Use this top-quality neem oil to keep your skin looking great and your plants healthy, too. Once we found we could add a few drops of neem oil to our pet shampoo, our dogs had shinier hair. This cosmetic quality, unrefined neem oil is designed not only to be added to shampoo, add it to conditioner or lotion for extra essential fatty acids and those important antioxidants. Antioxidants protect your cells from free radicals, the naturally occurring aging factors, and also moisturize your skin.
Processed without heat
All the qualities that make neem oil unique are kept as close to natural as possible with this cold-pressed and processed oil. Not just cold-pressed, but this organic oil is also hexane-free. Because cold processing doesn’t use heat to extract the seed oil, most oils are exposed to solvents and chemicals to release the oil from the fruit. But because this oil is hexane-free, it means you have no worries about any by-products from anything in your unrefined and organic nutrient-rich oil.
