Quality

100% pure and natural, virgin, first cold-pressed, without any chemical treatment.

The quality of Neem oil varies according to production methods. Depending on whether a hot or cold process is used, the quantity of active ingredients differs because above 60°C the chemical components break down. This is why we favour first cold pressing, which yields up to 1600 ppm of azadirachtin A compared to 300 ppm for oils obtained by hot processing.
