What is it and what is it for?

Neem oil is extracted from the Azadirachta indica plant, a tree native to South Asia and India. It is the seeds of this tree that contain the highest concentration of this oil. The bioactive compound – azadirachtin – is known for its insecticidal, fungicidal and repellent properties.
