Oleavine Natural Neem Oil - One Product, Many Uses

Tired of chemical products to keep pests at bay? to help heal? for your skin and your garden? Enter Neem Oil. Neem Oil is a product that the FDA has labeled as Generally Recognized As Safe for use in food products. However, I still would recommend care and full understanding of what neem oil is, what it is used for and how safe it is in those uses. Oleavine has utilized both organic neem oil and wildcrafted neem oil. This blocks any possible introduction of other chemicals, heavy metals or solvents. I have used a number of Oleavine's products and have been fully satisfied by all of them. They take care in producing consumer products that are safe and effective. I can't possibly speak as to how you will use neem oil or how it can affect you, I speak only of my personal research and use. Neem oil is often used to control pests (insects, etc.) in the home and garden. It is non-toxic and based on the FDA's category, can be used in/on vegetable plants/fruit trees. It also can be used as an insect repellant. I would only use neem oil on the skin once it has been diluted. My all purpose insect repellant formula is:
a scant 6 oz. of aloe vera liquid (can also use witch hazel, distilled water or fractionated coconut oil)
60 drops of tea tree oil
20 drops of geranium oil
20 drops of neem oil
1 T. vegetable glycerin
Fragrance (scented essential oils, fragrance oils, baking extract (vanilla, peppermint, spearmint)
Shake well and apply

In this case the neem oil is very diluted. All the ingredients work together to repel many insects, flying, crawling, visible or invisible. I will only use neem oil in a carrier, either a regular or a dry oil, such as aloe, coconut oil, lotion, shampoo/conditioner, or other liquid that will dilute the oil. This helps it to be safer, and it also reduces the scent. Perhaps one of the biggest complaints about neem oil is it's scent. It has been described as garlicy, sulphury, composty, earthy and many others. The bottom line is neem just doesn't smell all that good. But diluting it can help reduce, eliminate or replace the smell. When I use it on my skin, either in the above insect repellant or in a lotion or other carrier, I have diluted or scented it so that the smell is close to non-existent. And yes, Oleavine's Neem Oil does have a scent, but since you only use a small amount for most purposes and it is often, if not always diluted, the scent is not an issue for me. Additionally, this is a very economical product that will last a long time, even with repeated use.

This is a multipurpose product. There are an amazing number of possible uses. I suggest that you do your own research and decide if it is for you. I definitely prefer neem oil to commercial insect repellants that contain ingredients with documented research on their poisonous actions to the human body (such as DEET). It is also very effective for many skin conditions, again, without the chemicals and additives that are in the most common skin products. I recommend and trust Oleavine Neem Oil.
