Functions
Skin Conditioning
A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.
Antioxidant
Fights free radicals — the unstable molecules from UV, pollution, and stress that break down collagen and cause premature aging.
Soothing
Calms redness, irritation, and inflammation. Your skin's chill pill — great for sensitive, reactive, or post-procedure skin.
Astringent
Tightens and contracts skin tissue, temporarily shrinking pores and reducing oiliness. That "clean, tight" feeling after toner.
Locks in moisture
Traditional Use
Neem oil has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for over 4,000 years for skin purification, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory purposes. It remains a primary ingredient in traditional Indian skincare and has been extensively documented in Sanskrit medical texts.
