Neem oil

🌿 Product Overview

From the heart of Kannauj, India — the Perfume Capital of India — Shiva Exports India presents our premium cold-pressed Neem Oil, a therapeutic-grade botanical powerhouse revered for its exceptional purity and potent bio-active profile. By marrying Kannauj’s multi-generational distillation heritage with advanced cold-pressing technology, we extract this oil directly from the seed kernels of the Azadirachta indica tree without compromising its heat-sensitive limonoid compounds. This meticulous extraction process ensures that bulk buyers, cosmetic formulators, and agricultural manufacturers receive an unadulterated, highly active ingredient rich in azadirachtin, oleic acid, and essential fatty acids, completely free from synthetic solvents or dilution.

🌿 Olfactory Profile & Applications

Neem oil is characterized by a robust, deeply herbaceous, and sulfurous aroma with distinct garlic-onion undertones and a bitter, earthy base note. While its sensory profile is intensely functional rather than aesthetic, it serves as an indispensable active ingredient in therapeutic and cosmetic formulations. In fine perfumery and personal care, its powerful aroma is expertly masked or complemented by blending with high-camphorous or herbaceous essential oils such as Eucalyptus, Tea Tree, Rosemary, and Lavender. Its primary applications span across advanced skin care (especially acne treatment and barrier-repair creams), hair care (targeted dandruff control and scalp therapy), veterinary preparations, and organic agriculture as a highly effective natural fungicide and organic insecticide for plant protection and garden maintenance.

📖 Usage & Formulation Guide

• Cosmetic & Skin Care Formulations: For acne treatment and facial serums, incorporate cold-pressed neem oil at a concentration of 1% to 5% within a carrier oil base (such as Jojoba or Rosehip). To mask the strong sulfurous profile, pair with 1.5% of a synergistic essential oil blend comprising Tea Tree (Melaleuca alternifolia) and Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia).
• Hair Care & Scalp Treatments: For targeted dandruff control shampoos and hair masks, formulate with 2% to 3% neem oil. This concentration leverages its natural anti-fungal properties against Malassezia furfur without destabilizing the surfactant matrix.
• Cold-Process Soap Making: Neem oil possesses a saponification value of 205. For therapeutic bars, utilize it at 5% to 10% of the total oil fat batch. Superfatting at this level ensures the retaining of unsaponifiable matters (2%) for skin-soothing benefits.
• Agricultural & Plant Protection Emulsions: To formulate an organic insecticide and natural fungicide for garden and crop applications, blend 0.5% to 2% neem oil with a non-ionic surfactant or horticultural soap (such as polysorbate 20 at a 1:5 ratio to the oil) to allow complete water emulsification before spraying.
