Most facial oils promise nourishment and glow. The front of this one says something else: antibacterial and antiseptic vegetable oil blend. That is the whole reason it exists, and the reason people go looking for it.
The two oils doing the work are the ones you’d expect. Neem — pressed from the seeds of a tree Ayurveda has been putting on skin for centuries, and the ingredient Chogan describes as antiseptic and antifungal, useful for easing mycoses and fungal conditions of the skin. And tea tree, described as antibacterial, the bottle almost everybody has reached for at some point.
Underneath them sits a base of almond, olive, flax and borage oils, blended so the whole thing absorbs quickly instead of sitting on the surface. A few drops on clean skin.
One honest note, because it matters more here than on anything else on this site: this is a cosmetic, not a medicine. It’s registered as a cosmetic product (CPNP 4829489), and a cosmetic oil cannot treat a diagnosed infection. If you’re dealing with a nail that has changed colour or thickness, that’s a doctor’s job, not a dropper’s. I wrote a longer piece about exactly where that line falls — it’s linked from the articles.

Ingredients and how to use it

How to use it
Shake before use. Face and body: a few drops on clean skin; on a spot or pimple, 2–3 drops. Hair: a few drops in your usual shampoo. Not on broken skin.
Worth knowing before you buy
- Patch-test on the inner elbow first.
- Avoid during pregnancy — especially the first 3 months — and while breastfeeding.
- Not before sun exposure — it makes skin more sensitive to sunlight.
- Too much can clog pores.
- Neem oil makes it set in the cold. Warm it gently in a water bath — that doesn't harm it.
- Sediment and the strong smell are normal — the ingredients are natural.
- Keep away from the eyes and mucous membranes. For external use only. Keep out of reach of children under 3.
