You can superfat with neem for extra oomph if you like. Whether or not the oils retain all of their goodness after saponification has often been the subject of debate. I don't have a definitive answer for you, unfortunately. I can only say that it is common practice to saponify oils in the hope and expectation that they will provide the benefits of its non-saponified form. stephanie–I do.

You're right. I really can't describe the odor of neem myself. Go ahead and give soapmaking a go. You'll find it's not scary at all. Let us know if you give the neem soap a try. Tasterspoon–Thank you and a warm welcome!

You guys are awesome. My husband has psoriasis (mainly it keeps to his head, fortunately), and I had seen a lot of neem oil hype so I made him kind of an oil treatment he could rub in then shampoo out. He was delighted at first - and then lost his enthusiasm. His theory is that maybe rubbing any kind of oil into his scalp (and which doesn't totally wash out) would soothe the itch but wouldn't ultimately banish the psoriasis. That link from TL is helpful and kind of tracks. Oh and the SMELL! It IS hard to describe because it is unique, but it carries and lingers - I always know when he's been 'using.' I guess it's kind of...garlicky? I'm going to get over my fear of lye one of these days and try making this soap, on the 'can't hurt, might help' theory.

It is mostly used for desertification control as a plant, leaves are employed in traditional cure for malaria, there are ongoing research into its repenlant activities among others. I am really interested in its use for psoriasis, what are the success rate?If combined with coal tar will it be better? please reply. cheers!
