May improve skin health

The neem seed oil contains a high concentration of fatty acids, including oleic, stearic, palmitic, and linoleic acids. These fatty acids, when combined, offer anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antibacterial effects that support healthy skin. While Ayurvedic medicine – an Indian traditional healing system — employs neem to treat psoriasis and eczema, relatively little scientific research back up these claims.

Neem has traditionally been used to cure acne, decrease blemishes, and increase skin suppleness. Indeed, research shows that the antimicrobial characteristics of neem oil help to treat acne. Test-tube research found that adding neem oil to solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs), a novel type of medicine formulation that provides a steady release of active components, may help with long-term acne therapy.
