Ahimsa Organics Neem Oil - OMRI Listed. 1 Gallon.
Premium quality*, cold processed, unpasteurized Neem oil.
Wild-crafted, cold pressed from carefully stored seeds* of the Neem tree. This oil is perfect for skin care, animal care & herbal use or as an agricultural spray. It is rich in all the liminoids and compounds that have earned Neem oil it's title as “A Tree For Solving Global Problems”.
Use as directed in agricultural sprays, drenches and solutions, the natural oils both feed beneficial biology and protect the plant from disease. Excellent for use as a pre-season dormant oil for perennial vines and orchard crops, or in season at very low dilution (0.5%) as a foliar spray, this excellent natural oil can provide exceptional results when integrated with a holistic biological management strategy for feeding the soil and encouraging healthy plants throughout the year. Highly recommended by Michael Phillips, master orchardist of the Lost Nation Orchard, in his book The Holistic Orchard. (R.I.P., Michael.)
*The oil is guaranteed free of aflatoxin* which is a fungus that can grow on poorly cleaned or stored seeds. It has a strong garlic/nutty aroma - unpleasant to some but loved by those who have experienced it's healing and protective powers.
NOTE-Neem Oil is mainly composed of glycerides of palmitin, stearin, and linolic acids. Neem Oil is similar to Palm Oil. Both oils deposit stearin at low temperatures and especially after they solidify. This process is repeated with each cycle of freezing and thawing. Neem Oil has a high wax content and therefore clouds at 16 C (60.8 F) and tends to solidify at 12 C (53.6 F). At temperatures below 5 C (41 F), Neem Oil is solid and on thawing will deposit stearin. This can be filtered out if needed.
It is also normal to find creamy globules of fatty acid deposits in Neem Oil stored at room temperature. These will melt on thawing.
*Ahimsa Organics Neem Oil is independently verified to be free of any pesticides or harmful levels of any metals.
