Learning with LaRee
Neem is wonderful for the skin. It is full of carotenoids and antioxidants which protect the skin from free radicals and diminish signs of aging, wrinkles, and age spots. The essential fatty acids and vitamins in Neem improve skin tone, help the elasticity of the skin, and build collagen. Neem is rich in vitamin E and moisturizes the skin on a deep level. Neem has many beneficial phytochemicals that boost the immune system, combat inflammation, and it is said to interfere with the development of cancer cells.
Virgin Neem Oil has a VERY powerful, VERY unpleasant, herbaceous aroma that can be likened to a mixture of peanut and garlic aromas.

What is a carrier oil:
Carrier or base oils are often applied in conjunction with an essential oil. The common industry term for carrier oils is fixed oils. These oils are made from vegetables, nuts, seeds, and flowers. They are considered by many to have therapeutic properties of their own.
Carrier oils are used for several different reasons. One major reason is that pure essential oils are often too concentrated to be applied undiluted to the skin. Adding essential oils to a carrier oil also allows the oil to be spread over a larger application area and to be absorbed more evenly. Many essential oils are quite expensive, and because they are so highly concentrated, one or two drops may be all that you need. The use of a smaller quantity of essential oil is often more beneficial than a larger quantity and is certainly less likely to cause any type of reaction. Read More About Carrier Oils
