TheraNeem Neem Therape Cleansing Bar, Maximum Strength | Neem Oil Soap for Sensitive Skin | Soothes & Hydrates | 4oz

Yes, as some people have said, this soap is a bit stinky, but not so stinky that it's repulsive. When you first start using it you think "Oh, this isn't so bad." But, then you're soaking and you start to smell this slightly musty peanut smell.. But, it so doesn't matter when you learn what it does for your skin! This soup is also suitable for conscientious people, when it comes to their own health and even the environment.. and washing with it feels SO GOOD.. the lather is rich and creamy and... I just can not put it to words, you have to feel it! It's vegan safe, paraben, sulfate, and gluten free.So, what's in it? Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Elaeis Guineensis (Palm) Oil, Melia Azadirachta (Neem) Seed Oil, Aqua/Water/Eau, Sodium Hydroxide, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract.Benefits of the Ingredients:Olive Oil:Olive oil has the same healthy fats as avocado, and plumps and moisturizes the skin with a combination of vitamin E and vitamin A. Vitamin E is an antioxidant.. which combats against free radicals, free radicals aid in the formation of cancer, and unsightly wrinkles.Coconut Oil:Coconut oil also helps to delay the occurrence of wrinkles because it contains antioxidant Vitamin E, known to protect skin cells from damage over time. The Vitamin E found in coconut oil soothes eczema, sunburn and psoriasis, and its antiviral and antifungal benefits even help to treat bug bites. Coconut oil contains 3 fatty acids: capric acid, lauric acid and caprylic acid. Each of these acids kill candida, a common cause of fungal infection on your skin.Palm Oil:Lipids in our skin can be damaged or oxidized by ozone exposure, which can lead to free radicals being generated in our skin. Palm oil can fight free radicals, but it can also prevent them from forming in the first place. The oxidation of lipilds resulting in free radicals have been proven to be an underlying cause of many skin diseases, including cancer. Toctrienols have been proven to be 40 to 60 times more powerful than the common tocopherol in preventing lipid preoxidation.Neem Oil:Sometimes the best way to know what Neem Oil helps is to ask what it doesn't help.. lol! Neem oil, is amazing. Due to the healing properties of neem, it's useful in treating a variety of skin conditions and is especially effective in treating those who don't respond to typical medical treatment. Neem is used to treat such skin conditions as acne, psoriasis, eczema, ringworm, scabies, and warts. It's also beneficial in treating the scalp for dandruff and scaling, as well as head lice. Neem is beneficial to skin by helping heal minor scrapes and skin abrasions because of its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. It is the Neem Oil that lends to the soap's slightly musty peanut smell. If you were to smell pure Neem Oil, you would say this soap is the best smelling thing ever.. Pure Neem is the Super Hero of Stink.. but it's also the Super Hero of Oils.. :) It is WISE to do research on Neem Oil if you are going to use it.. as it should NEVER be used in its undiluted form, or by women who are looking to get pregnant, are pregnant or are breast feeding.. Neem has a natural contraceptive property that is not only effective on pests, but also on humans, Neem Oil has been used as a birth control method for thousands of years in India.. I repeat NEVER use Neem Oil without diluting it.. This soap is just fine, the Neem is diluted in other carrier oils. ^_^Shea Butter:Shea butter is chock-full of vitamin A and is deeply moisturizing. Shea is derived from nuts that grow on trees in West and Central Africa, and it is known for being so nourishing to the skin that even in Africa's dry climate it works to soothe thirsty skin. The American Shea Institute notes that shea butter possesses the ability to improve pesky skin blemishes, eczema, wrinkles and dermatitis. Shea is also known to soothe insect bites, sunburn and frostbite. This butter packs a powerful punch for an array of skin ailments.Jojoba Oil:A natural emollient, jojoba oil's similarity to sebum allows it to absorb easily and readily into your skin, making it a gentle, skin-softening moisturizer for all skin types. It also helps to combat acne and treats skin infections.Rosemary Extract:Not only does it smell nice (which helps cut down on the funk of this soap *grin*), Rosemary oil tones and firms the skin. The herb is an astringent, helping to reduce excess oil in skin and hair. Rosemary tones and firms sagging skin, and it is used as an ingredient in anti-aging products. The disinfectant and antibiotic properties of rosemary contribute to its use for treating acne, dermatitis and eczema.This soap has it all, and I love it, and I plan on ordering about 20 bars to keep in my bathroom so there is always a bar when I run out of one.. I will never, again, use another soap. I have been SUFFERING from terribly dry skin, from hormonal changes, and these DREADFUL New England winters.. My skin was itchy, tight, and dry.. I did nothing but scratch day in and day out.. I used this soap and the intensity of the itch was GREATLY reduced! After one use! I got in a tub of warm water, washed as normal, and then laid in the soapy water for hours, reading a book. I only got out when the water got cold, and then I followed up with the Organix, Theraneem Skin Lotion, 8 Ounce.. You can find that here too at varying prices on Amazon.I come from a country where having beautiful skin is KING.. we go through a 5 step skin care regime daily to maintain stunning skin.. This did SO MUCH for my skin, even parts of my skin (after having a child) that felt a bit unfirm, have firmed up.. It's not even advertised as doing such.. but it did for me.. I LOVE this soap! And I will tell all my friends about it, though many are stubborn and probably wouldn't try it, because they can't see spending 7+ dollars on a bar of soap.. but, it's worth it..BUY IT! <3

I have been using this soap for about 6 weeks now. I bought this soap along with other Neem products to combat a scabies infestation. Neem does not kill scabies directly, it disrupts their hormone cycle and causes them to eventually die. It also does not kill eggs, so to use it for scabies, you would have to use it for several weeks. Frankly, I bought it to repair the damage from the prescription scabies medicines I was using. Those left my skin dry, raw, and extremely irritated. Additionally, I have mild acne, and dry skin also. First, understand that nothing is a miracle cure, and there is no cure for acne. Second, don't always listen to your dermatologist. I am in the medical field myself. If someone asks me about a product I don't know, I tell them I don't know, and then I research it myself. Someone told me of the benefits of Neem, so I researched it myself. I asked my dermatologist about it. He had not heard of it. Rather than saying, "I'll look into it and let you know my professional opinion," he summarily dismissed it as hooey, b/c it was a "natural" product. Many of the prescription meds out there are gotten from plants, so there is no reason to dismiss a product simply b/c you haven't heard of it. Anyway, third, the smell. The smell of the soap is not nearly as bad as the pure oil. Not by a long shot, and you do get used to it after a little while. It's best described as a mix of rancid garlic, mixed with rotten peanuts. As I said tho, it's not nearly as strong as the oil, and really doesn't smell that bad. Finally, how does it work? Excellent. One reviewer commented that it took longer to work than was expected. Yes, it is not a miracle that will cure you overnight. For me, it took about 3-4 weeks to truly start working. My acne has diminished greatly. I have only mild acne, so don't expect major results if you have bad acne. I also had several areas of dry, red, patchy skin on my upper arms. It took about a month, but these patches are now gone completely, and the redness is about 98% reduced. My skin is no longer as irritated and itchy as it was either. The bars last a long time too, generally 30 showers or so. I will now be using this as my regular soap. In summation, this is a great all around soap that will effectively treat a myriad of skin problems. Just don't expect a miracle cure, and you have to stick with it. If you do, you may just be amazed at the results.

I suffer from Psoriasis. Varies forms, actually. Scalp, Plaque and Inverse. I use steroidal creams during the winter for my plaque psoriasis and during the summer I sun bathe. I use various treatments for my scalp - but when it comes to my Inverse Psoriasis under my bra line, I don't like the feeling of the creams and it gets to be pretty painful - during the summer, I don't think my neighbors want to stare at my boobs, so sunbathing is out, too. I started using this soap to wash under my breasts and have seen a HUGE difference with the severity. It's not as shiny and raw any longer and has really improved in how large the area covered by it is.The only reason I cannot give this 5 stars is because I don't like the smell. That is purely a "me" thing as I am really affected by smells. It smells like Oatmeal and new car tires... that is the best way I can explain it. My husband says that it doesn't smell this way to him, so it's probably just me and my smell sensitivity.
