In the Tradition

Neem grows in almost every Indian village, and its twig has been the daily datun for generations.

Classical texts describe its bitter taste as cleansing, and its leaves have long been used in baths, lepas and ubtans for the skin.

Its leaves are also kept with stored grain and clothes in many homes.

Our Neem comes from the Malwa region of Madhya Pradesh.

We prepare it for our skin and hair care according to its classical protocol.
