Neem oil

Neem oil (CAS 8002-65-1), also known as margosa oil, is a cold-pressed vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of the Azadirachta indica tree. It functions as a natural biopesticide, insect repellent, and preservative across agricultural, personal care, and pharmaceutical applications.

In crop protection, neem oil is formulated into emulsifiable concentrates and foliar sprays to control a broad range of insects, mites, and fungal pathogens without synthetic active ingredients. These formulations provide an effective alternative for organic farming and integrated pest management strategies.

Personal care manufacturers incorporate it into scalp treatments, anti-dandruff shampoos, and skin creams where its natural preservation and conditioning properties reduce the need for synthetic additives. Its unique fatty acid profile supports skin barrier function and scalp health in various cosmetic applications.

Pharmaceutical and veterinary formulators use it in topical preparations targeting ectoparasites and skin conditions, particularly in markets favoring botanical actives. It also serves as a carrier and emulsifiable base in neem-derived formulations where azadirachtin content must meet defined minimum thresholds.

Neem oil is supplied as a dark yellow to brown viscous liquid, available in crude cold-pressed and refined grades. Standard commercial specifications include minimum azadirachtin content levels relevant for agricultural-grade material to ensure consistent efficacy in the field.

Food-contact and cosmetic-grade material is available with defined peroxide values and moisture limits to meet quality requirements. Our supply chain ensures that the oil maintains its bioactive integrity through careful processing and temperature-controlled storage protocols.
