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.

So a few months ago I had to take my dear kitten to the vet, sadly this resulted in them getting an infestation of fleas. Me and my poor cat were miserable until I saw an article claiming Neem oil could get rid of those unwanted pest. Now Neem oil is toxic to cat so you have to be careful while doing this, so I basically gave my little kitten a bath with a few drops of Neem oil and used a flea comb on them. Then I rinsed off the stuff with regular water and prevented them from licking their fur. After that I placed a few drops of Neem oil on their neck, ears and chin and on spots where (just a small drop) they couldn’t reach or lick. As of now I had no issues of fleas, as of yet. I also took a few drops and mixed it with soap and water in a spray bottle and sprayed it on areas of my house that could be affected. This is what worked for me, you may want to consult with a vet before use and it may have been sheer luck for me. It’s a pretty bottle and you get a bit, it stinks quite a bit like a lot.

Neem oil has a terrible smell in my opinion but it is nature's Best skin healer. I don't even try to make it smell better, I don't know how. I have used Neem essential oil for years to keep cold sores on and around my lips from spreading but is very expensive, so I decided to try this therapeutic oil. It comes in a tinted glass bottle with a dropper closure, which indicates it's quality since plastic bottle is not used. it does work to help heal skin eruptions and cold sores and I think I would like to blend it with another carrier oil for dry skin where needed-my next experimentation with it. I am very pleased with this Neem oil and since not much is used at a time, it will last a long time.

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.

Great quality neem oil! It’s organic, cold-pressed, and very concentrated, so a little goes a long way. Works well for skin, scalp, and hair, and I love that it’s also safe to use for plants and pets. Effective, multi-purpose, and good value for the size. Highly recommend. 🌿
