How to Use

• Topical Use: Dilute neem oil with a carrier oil (such as coconut or jojoba oil) before applying it to the skin. A common ratio is 1 part neem oil to 10 parts carrier oil.
• Hair Treatment: Mix neem oil with a carrier oil and massage it into the scalp. Leave it on for at least 30 minutes before washing it out with shampoo.
• Gardening: To use neem oil as a pesticide, mix 1-2 tablespoons of neem oil with water and a small amount of mild dish soap. Spray this mixture on plants to control pests.
