INTRODUCTION

Melia Azadirachta Extract (Neem Extract) - an ingredient obtained from the leaves and flowers of the Azadirachta Indica tree, native to India and Myanmar. This tree is known for its powerful medicinal properties and has been used for 4500 years, and has many names such as "tree of life", "divine tree", "nature's drugstore". Sanskrit texts show that this tree was called "nimba", meaning "good health".

BENEFITS OF MELIA AZADIRACHTA EXTRACT

ANTIOXIDANT

Neem extract contains high levels of antioxidants (quercetin) that help eliminate free radicals and reduce ROS-induced damage to cells.

ANTI-INFLAMMATORY

Monoterpene compounds from Neem Extract have anti-inflammatory properties, significantly reducing the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α and IL-6. Furthermore, neem extract has an immune-modulating function, increasing the number of CD4 + and CD8 + T cells.

ANTIBACTERIAL AND ANTIFUNGAL

Neem extract combats skin infections and promotes wound healing. Nimbolide has demonstrated an inhibitory effect on the biofilm of Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacterial strains. Neem leaf oil contains nimbin, nimbinin, nimbolide, ninnene - substances with antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties. Specifically, Gedunin and nimbidol are so potent that they can destroy fungi. Thanks to its antibacterial properties and sebum-reducing effects, Neem extract also helps prevent acne.

ANTI-AGING

The high beta-carotene and Vitamin C content in Neem extract provides protection for the skin against oxidative stress and ultraviolet radiation, boosts collagen production, and reduces the likelihood of skin sagging and wrinkle formation.

SOOTHING PSORIASIS AND ECZEMA

Psoriasis and eczema are caused by a weakened skin barrier, leading to dry and flaky skin. Neem extract not only helps reduce itching and inflammation but also moisturizes. Nimbidin and nimbin are two compounds that help control inflammation and prevent infection. In addition, the combination of vitamin E and fatty acids (linoleic acid & oleic acid) softens the stratum corneum and maintains a healthy skin barrier.
