Natural, premium Neem products for body and skin care
The area that I grew up in SE Ohio didn’t have mud, it had a clay-enriched subsoil or alfisol under the grass. Why is that important? Well, did you ever wonder why certain crops are grown in different areas? Different types of soil support different things and in my hometown the alfisol, with a subset called aqualfs, are used as cropland for corn, soybeans, and rice. The area is rich in forest vegetation and nearly all aqualfs are believed to have supported all forest land in the past. Pretty cool, huh?
We humans are pretty crafty and have been using natural resources, such as clay, to do all kinds of things including beauty products. I heard about a Neem Clay mask and wanted to learn more. What makes this purifying mask so special? For starters, the ingredients are amazing! French green clay is what spas use because it is fantastic at absorbing dirt, oil and bacteria, while gently cleansing the pores. Now, African Neem was a new ingredient for me and one that is very special and makes JustNeem stand out. Let me explain….
Neem oil is a vegetable oil that is derived from pressing the fruits and seeds of the neem (an evergreen) tree that is endemic to the Indian subcontinent. In particular, JustNeem supports job creation, economic development, Neem tree planting and ecological improvements in the Sahara Desert of Mauritania, West Africa. In fact, 10% of this Cary, NC based company profits go to this cause. The amazing thing about Neem oil is that this high in fatty acid extract has so many uses! It is an antiseptic, bug repellant and has been used in making cosmetics for a very long time.
And – wow! What a difference this mask makes on your pores. I was pleased to discover that the combination of the clay and the Neem creates a purifying mask that really detoxifies your skin. The addition of several essential oils, such as peppermint and eucalyptus, was also a nice and welcoming surprise. Sure, as parents, it is hard to find time or the money to give yourself a spa day, but you can create a special treatment to yourself at home with this clay mask that contains no sulfates, parabens, or phthalates. It is also an added bonus that this is a beauty product with a conscience!
