About

Neem leaf powder — a powerful Ayurvedic ingredient for blemish-prone skin.

Melia azadirachta (neem) leaf contains azadirachtin, nimbidin, and various liminoids with well-documented antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activity. EU cosmetics law does not place neem leaf specifically in any Annex, but neem oil is subject to restrictions in some jurisdictions. The powder form contains lower concentrations of the most potent compounds; however, it may cause irritation in sensitive skin at higher concentrations.
