Description: "32 oz., Concentrate, Neem Oil." Actual Ingredients: 0.9% "Clarified Hydrophobic extract of Neem Oil," 99.9% "other ingredients." LEGAL?

I have researched the oil and when mixing it yourself you would only use 10 drops of the oil in a pint of other ingredients. So while you think you are getting ripped off, you are not. 10 drops is all that is needed and it is the active ingredient.

The company refused to disclose the other ingredients when contacted by e-mail. To me it looks fishy. I chose pure neem oil, which you dilute in water. Neem oil is the only active ingredient anyway, and you don't have to wonder what is in the remaining 99.9 %.

Neem is an Indian tree. It is naturally plant pest repellent. It has has been used for centuries in India. I do not recall ever hearing of any adverse effects from it. And I have never heard of any legal issues regarding it either. I always thought of it as similar to cedar wood here in the US.

I believe I spelled everything correctly. Took a photo of the back of the bottle, and transcribed from there. If you would like the actual photo, let me know, and we can figure that out.

I don't know - however, you might want to contact VJR Organics that sold me the Neem Oil through Amazon - their Amazon email is g4xt72k6f41y6w3@marketplace.amazon.com

I checked with Baar Products, Inc. as to the percent concentration of Castor Oil in the product. they would NOT answer. Only replied that it was a "proprietary blend." It's time to vate with our wallets and NOT patronize companies who doge questions and provide poor customer service.

The label says 70% neem oil and 30% other ingredients. They don't say what those "other ingredients" are, however, it would appear that there are pesticides in the "other ingredients". There is this warning on the label: ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS Do not apply directly to water. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwaters or rinsate. To protect the environment, do not allow pesticide to enter or run off into storm drains, drainage ditches, gutters or surface waters. Applying this product in calm weather when rain is not predicted for the next 24 hours will help to ensure that wind or rain does not blow or wash pesticide off treatment area. Rinsing application equipment over the treated area will help avoid runoff to water bodies or drainage systems. BEE HAZARD: This product is toxic to bees exposed to direct treatment. Do not apply this product while bees are actively visiting the treatment area. There is this information on just neem oil, which also leads me to believe that the "other ingredients" contains a pesticide, based on those warnings on the label: http://www.discoverneem.com/neem-bees-beneficial-insects.html.

No, it isn't. At the very top of the ingredients list is SD alcohol 40-B. That's another thing I didn't like about this formula. I tried using it again this morning and the cheap sprayer didn't work, even after rinsing it off with water. I don't know why they call this stuff free and clear; it has another half dozen or so chemicals in it, although they claim most harmful ingredients have been taken out. Someone should do better. I will continue my search for a better formula, that's for sure!

The only FDA requirement is that an oil must contain 5% of the pure ingredient listed, to be marketed as a "100% therapeutic grade oil". The other 95% of the product could be anything.

This is actually a violation of DoTerra's agreements and they do risk having their membership as an advocate revoked. It specifically stats in the agreements etc. that the only online site that can actually SELL the product, is the DoTerra site that gets setup for them by DoTerra when they enroll. Even actually selling through social media is not allowed. Just because they do not always actively monitor and enforce it, and the oils are not watered down, does not make it legitimate.

I'm gonna say no? There are no ingredients listed on the box or the bottle other than "100% Pure Organic Argan Oil."

It is indeed an error, it is pure pressed Pumpkin Oil. Used for some time now, very happy with this product.

The ingredients on my bottle read: Glycerin, Fair Trade Certified vanilla bean extractives, water. But on the front of the bottle there is an asterisk beside the words "NON-ALCOHOLIC." I never noticed the asterisk before so I read the note it referred to on the back of the bottle. It says "Contains less than 0.5% alcohol by volume." I don't know what that means and never noticed it before?????

"Clarified Hydrophobic Extract of Neem Oil" This product worked well for me against fungus and aphids, but I heard that if you need something stronger, try "cold pressed Neem Oil"

Since the company claims that the product does not contain anything harmful, they are not required to reveal the components of the product by law. Here are the MSDS of the "degreaser" which is also excellent. You can google it Percent Range CAS Number Orange Oil Blend &lt; 0.01-2.5 8008-57-9 &111-76-2 Ethoxylated Alcohol &lt; 0.5-4.0 9036-19-5 Disodium Salt &lt; 0.5-1.5 6834-92-0 Tetra Sodium EDTA Hydroxy Sodium&lt; 0.5-1.5 &lt; 0.5-0.8 64-02-8 1310-73-2
