Kate Blanc Cosmetics Neem Oil for Skin, Hair & Face. Safe for Dog, Plants, Scalp (4oz, Organic, Cold Pressed, Concentrate)

use for skin

Got big patches of dry flakes on my scalp. On skin it was ok.

Excellent but I don't like the smell

I love this product but sad to see they’re out of the larger size. This small bottle will last some a while but I add it to my bath as well as to my dogs baths so for me it’s too small. Neem is FANTASTIC for dogs so I like to spread the word. But before I do, I’d like to note one thing about cats. A reviewer mentioned they knew Neem is toxic to cats but *still*bathed their kitten with a few drops. PLS DON’T do that. Neem is not safe for cats so I assume even worse for young kittens. We’d all be wise to remember: Just bc something doesn’t kill or show *immediate* harm does *NOT* mean there is no harm. She risked organ damage and unless labs were done after, she can’t be sure kitten wasn’t harmed, (tho if she only did it once, I’d hope not.) That said, FOR A NATURAL REMEDY FOR CATS USE FOOD-GRADE DIAMATACEOUS EARTH INSTEAD. While it won’t kill the eggs so requires a few applications, food-grade D. E. is a natural, safe, and effective tool for fleas on cats and dogs. It’s a powder so just lightly dust some on and fleas will break apart when crossing it. Three things to know.: 1.ONLY USE FOOD GRADE D.E. FOR ANIMALS. 2. It’s a fine particulate powder so can irritate lungs, eyes, and nasal tissues if not applied carefully, so avoid eyes, inner ears/ nose/ sensitive membrane areas and tissues. Don’t overdo it and it’s better to lightly dust them while outside so as not to spread in air. 3. It’s a powder so can be drying to skin. It’s better not to use too much and to wash or dab off after a while. Reapply after eggs hatch to kill any new fleas. Can also be spread on floors carefully for a bit and then vacuumed up after a bit. MOVING ON TO NEEM OIL Neem is wonderful for both dog and human skin and hair. For dogs, It’s basically their version of Tea Tree oil. (Tea tree is a natural antiviral, antiseptic, antifungal, antibacterial etc that’s safe for humans but very toxic to animals. I used to not know that so I twice bathed my dog with a few drops of tea tree. Luckily, she had no ill effects but some animals can die from even tiny amounts, so be careful with tea tree! ) Neem is like tea tree in that it has antibacterial properties and keeps parasites and skin issues at bay, but neem is ALSO fantastic for flea control on dogs and has the added benefit of strengthening and nourishing their coat while helping to heal many skin issues. FOR DOGS: add a few drops in bath or mix a shampoo with 1/2 to 1 TSP Neem oil mixed with carrier oil (I use a few TBSPs of coconut oil or a bit of olive oil) and some blue dawn dish soap or Castile soap. The ratio should be abt 5 parts WARM water (must be warm or it won’t mix well) and 4 parts mild soap (ie blue dawn dish soap or Castile soap) to 1 part carrier oil (coconut oil is great for coat and skin) Then add abt a tsp of Neem and mix well. Some ppl also use abt 1/2 TSP of Neem in a spray bottle with warm water and spray on skin issues. Rosemary is also good to add for a spray. Just make sure the water is warm and that you add a drop or two of soap or it won’t mix. FOR PEOPLE: I have brittle nails and Neem is about the only thing that strengthens them. I add a few drops or a good sized squirt to my bath and even heavily diluted it helps my nails, skin, and hair. It strengthens them and also is cleansing. FOR PLANTS: To spray for pests, add about 1/2 to 1 TSP in a spray bottle of WARM water and a drop of dish soap and mix. Spray on leaves to ward off biting types of pests. Neem is a growth inhibitor so won’t kill them but will keep them from chewing on plants and will end bugs life cycle so they can’t grow or reproduce. Be careful not to use around honeybees, butterflies, etc as it can harm them. To do a root soak or help reverse root rot, add same amount of Neem oil to warm water and pour over the roots or base of a plant. Will strengthen roots and over time soaks can also protect leaves. ALSO NOTE: Neem has a garlicky smell that many, including myself, find a bit unpleasant. It is supposed to smell weird, though if rancid will smell even worse.

This oil really helped with my scalp psoriasis. The smell is not great and it is a dark brown color but it really does work!!

My youngest, 1 1/2 years old, has eczema and a lot of allergies. His skin was always bothering him and I’ve been trying all kinds of products. I started putting this on him a month ago, and he doesn’t have rashes on the back of his knees or in his elbows anymore! I mix it with a lotion that works well for him, and I can’t believe that he has even stopped itching. I only use a couple drops each night in the lotion so this will last very long! The bottle is huge for the amount I use. I will like to add that what works for one doesn’t work for all, but this is a good try. It does smell nutty and my son has a peanut allergy but it doesn’t bother his skin. But Neem is a nut so be aware of that!

I recently tried the Kate Blanc Cosmetics Neem Oil for Skin, Hair & Face on my dog, and while it works well, there are a few things to note: Pros: Effective: The neem oil is effective for various uses. I applied it to my dog's skin and coat, and it helped with itching and overall skin health. Versatile: It’s great to have a product that can be used for skin, hair, face, and even on plants. It’s truly multipurpose. Natural Ingredients: Knowing it’s made from natural ingredients gives me peace of mind that it’s safe for my dog and for other uses. Moisturizing: The oil is quite moisturizing and beneficial for dry skin and hair, promoting a healthy scalp and hair growth. Cons: Strong Smell: The smell is quite strong and pungent. While this is common with neem oil, it can be a bit overwhelming, especially when used on pets. Overall, the Kate Blanc Cosmetics Neem Oil is a good product with many benefits, but be prepared for its strong smell. If you can get past the scent, it’s a highly effective and versatile oil.

Neem oil smells strong (like a spicy smell) so if you are sensitive to smells this might not be the best for you (i like it tho lol). I use it to make a pest preventive for my plants and have work wonders so if you are thinking of using it for that then get it! It lasts a long time even though it’s small! I have had it for a couple of months now and still have some left
