AZADIRACHTA INDICA BARK EXTRACT

AZADIRACHTA INDICA BARK EXTRACT: what it is
AZADIRACHTA INDICA BARK EXTRACT is an extract prepared from the bark of Azadirachta indica, a tree known as neem or margosa. On an ingredient list, the name identifies bark as the plant material used; it does not name one isolated substance obtained from the tree.
Azadirachta indica is an accepted species in the Meliaceae family. The plant part matters here: a bark extract, a leaf extract, and a bark-and-seed extract are distinct ingredients because their names identify different materials taken from the tree.
AZADIRACHTA INDICA BARK EXTRACT: what it does in cosmetics
In cosmetics, AZADIRACHTA INDICA BARK EXTRACT is used for skin conditioning. In everyday terms, it may be included to help keep skin in good condition and to contribute to the feel a product leaves during use, as part of the formulation in which it appears.
Published work on neem bark includes cell-based research and gels that combined the extract with other components, including silver nanoparticles. Those results do not test this ingredient on its own in a conventional cosmetic, so they do not establish a therapeutic effect for every product containing it.
