Neem Oil | Neem Seed Oil
Neem oil is a vegetable oil pressed from the seeds of the neem (Azadirachta indica), an evergreen tree which is indigenous to the Indian subcontinent and has been introduced to many other areas in the tropics.
Neem Oil is commonly used for organic farming and for its medicinal properties. Neem oil can vary in colour and has a rather strong odour. It is composed mainly of triglycerides, fatty acids and contains many triterpenoid compounds.
Being an oil it is not water soluble. In order to emulsify it in water for application purposes, it requires the addition of surfactants
This oil may need to be warmed before use as it has a tendency to solidify due to high levels of essential fatty acids.
