Every year, 6 to 12 million children in the United States are infested with head lice. These small bugs are extremely contagious, small, and hard to detect, which makes them difficult to get rid off.

Neem offers a healthy and effective alternative to synthetic head lice removal treatments. These synthetic treatments are often toxic, costly, and can prove ineffective if the lice have developed resistance to the chemicals commonly used in shampoos or treatments. In contrast, neem oil acts as a prophylactic agent, effectively preventing the spread of infestation by eradicating lice in all stages of the life cycle, while decreasing their appetite to the point of starvation.

Licener, an anti-louse shampoo made with neem seed extracts, successfully eliminated all eggs, lice, and nits after a single use of 10 minutes in a clinical study by Abdel Ghaffar, F and Al-Quraishy for the US National Institute of Health in 2012. A shampoo this effective will not lead to resistance development by these pesky bugs!
