Atacora Neem Seed Oil:

Pure and Versatile Cold Pressed Neem Oil

Neem seed oil has internal, external, and other utilitarian applications. For the skin, it is moisturizing and healing.
It is highly indicated for use in soaps, cosmetics and toothpaste. Everyone in West Africa starts the day by
 chewing and brushing with a neem stick for dental hygiene!

The United States Environmental Protection Agency has approved Neem Seed Oil as a natural insecticide
and insect repellent for horticultural and agricultural use. 
Used in a foliar spray or as a soil amendment, Atacora Essential Neem Seed Oil suppresses the appetite
and reproductive drive of sucking and chewing garden insects and nematodes,
while not harming beneficial insects and fauna like bees and worms. 
The EPA considers it ‘virtually non-toxic’ for food cultivation. 

It can also help with mitigating rusts, mildews and molds.
