Texture and Absorption Profile

Neem Seed Oil has a dense, viscous texture and absorbs slowly into the skin. It leaves a noticeable, heavier finish and is often blended with lighter carrier oils to adjust feel and spreadability.

Typical Uses of Neem Seed Oil

Neem Seed Oil is commonly blended with other carrier oils to dilute its thickness and aroma.
It is used in body oil and massage blends where a richer texture is required.
It is included in cosmetic formulation such as creams, lotions and balms at lower percentages.
It is used in hair and scalp oil blends where a heavier oil base is suitable.
It is also used in craft and handmade personal care products where its natural aroma is acceptable.

Dilution and Blending Guidance

Neem Seed Oil is suitable for use as a carrier oil for essential oils, though it is usually blended with lighter carriers.
Typical dilution levels for essential oils are commonly in the range of 1–5%, depending on the application.
Always blend thoroughly and carry out a patch test before skin application.

Storage and Handling

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat.
