Pure Neem Leaves Powder – Sun-Dried Neem for Face Packs & Hair | 100g

Sun-dried neem leaf, ground fine. The simplest form of the most useful herb in an Indian household, and the one that gets reached for when skin or scalp misbehaves.

Sun-dried rather than machine-dried, because heat is what takes the strength out of neem leaf.

What It Does for Skin

• Calms breakouts. Neem is antibacterial, and it brings down the redness around a spot as well as the spot
• Controls oil. Astringent, so it leaves skin matte without stripping it
• Soothes irritation. Itching, heat rash, general reactiveness
• Keeps pores clear. Which is why it suits congested, blackhead-prone skin

What It Does for Hair

• Tackles dandruff. Most dandruff is driven by yeast on the scalp, and neem is antifungal
• Calms an itchy scalp
• Clears build-up from oil and product
• Keeps the scalp healthy, which is where hair growth starts

How to Use It on Skin

For acne and oily skin

• 1 tsp neem powder
• 1 tsp multani mitti
• Rose water to mix

Leave 15 minutes, rinse with cool water. Twice a week.

For sensitive or dry skin

• ½ tsp neem powder
• 2 tsp aloe vera gel

Leave 10 minutes. Once a week. Neem on its own is drying — aloe fixes that.

As a spot treatment

A pinch mixed with a drop of water into a paste, dabbed onto a single spot and left for 20 minutes.

How to Use It on Hair

Dandruff mask

• 2 tbsp neem powder
• 1 tbsp methi powder
• Curd or warm water to mix

Scalp only. Leave 20–30 minutes, rinse. Once a week.

Neem rinse

1. Simmer 2 tablespoons of neem powder in 2 cups of water for 10 minutes
2. Cool and strain through a fine cloth
3. Pour over the scalp after shampooing
4. Leave it in

Twice a week. The easiest way to use it, and the one most people keep up.

Rinse Thoroughly — This Matters

Neem powder left sitting in the hair dries into flakes that look exactly like dandruff, which is a frustrating way to undo the point of using it. Strain any rinse through a fine cloth, and rinse masks until the water runs clear.

How to Tell Good Neem Powder

• Dull green, not bright green. Bright green usually means added colour
• Strongly bitter smell. Weak smell means old or heat-dried leaf
• Finely sifted, with no stem fragments
• Leaf only on the label
• Sealed pack with a manufacturing date

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use it on my face every day?
No. Twice a week as a pack. Neem is drying used too often.

Will it dry my skin out?
On its own, yes, a little. Mix it with aloe vera gel, curd or honey rather than plain water.

Powder or oil for dandruff?
Start with the powder as a weekly mask or rinse. Move to diluted neem oil if that is not enough.

Why does my scalp flake after using it?
Powder that was not rinsed out. Strain the rinse and rinse masks properly.

Can I take it internally?
This is sold for external use on skin and hair.
