Neem Soap Benefits and How to Use It: A Kerala Herbal Soap Guide
Why neem and aloe vera have been bath cupboard staples in South India for generations.
Neem is a bitter leaf that grows across India. In Kerala homes it has long been part of the bath, from neem leaf water to herbal soaps.
What neem soap is for: people use it for a refreshing clean, especially in humid weather. It is a good daily soap for those who like a crisp, herbal feel.
Why we pair it with aloe vera: aloe adds a soft, cooling feel, so the soap cleans without feeling harsh. See Neem and Aloe Vera.
How to use: lather in wet hands, wash the body, rinse well. Keep the soap dry between uses so it lasts longer. A soap dish with drainage is ideal.
Our soaps are cold process, which means they are made in small batches and left to cure for weeks. See Neem and Aloe Vera Soap. If you like a Kerala classic, try Danthapala Neem Soap.
