Massage it over your damp face and neck, rinse it off, and your skin will feel smooth and fresh. Himalaya has formulated the scrub for normal to oily skin. It comes in a 75 ml tube.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat neem actually is\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeem (Azadirachta indica, listed as Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract on the ingredients list) is a tree that originally grows in India. Its leaves have been an integral part of traditional skincare there for centuries. Himalaya, founded in India in 1930, uses neem in a wide range of products. This neem scrub also contains turmeric extract (Curcuma Longa Rhizome Extract), the yellow root you may also know from the kitchen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eApricot kernel and cellulose as exfoliating particles\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe exfoliating effect comes from two types of particles. Prunus Armeniaca Seed Powder is ground apricot kernel. Microcrystalline cellulose is a fine plant-based fibre. Together, they remove loose skin flakes as you massage the scrub. This is called exfoliation (the removal of the top layer of dead skin cells). The particles are suspended in a creamy base of stearic acid and plant-based oil. This allows the scrub to glide smoothly over your skin, so you do not need to rub hard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy the colour may change\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is worth noting that Himalaya states on the packaging that products containing herbs may change colour over time. This is due to the plant extracts. It does not affect the quality of the scrub. The light green shade is partly due to mineral colourants: titanium dioxide (CI 77891), chromium hydroxide green (CI 77289) and yellow iron oxide (CI 77492).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany people wonder whether a neem scrub and a neem mask do the same thing. They do not: the scrub uses exfoliating particles, while the mask uses clay. Himalaya includes both in the same Purifying Neem range, so you can use them together.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Himalaya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54900559315282,"sku":"Himalaya-062","price":4.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9006\/2812\/files\/Himalaya-062.jpg?v=1790776333","url":"https:\/\/www.luto-supplements.nl\/en\/products\/purifying-neem-face-scrub","provider":"LUTO Supplements","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
