I’ve never heard about the Neem plant until I came across these natural herbal soap by the Willow Farm based in Kluang, Johor.

It is antibacterial, chemical-free, good for eczema and sensitive skin. You can use it from head-to-toe – it seems a perfect alternative that I’ve been looking for after the local retailer of La Maison du Savon de Marseille soap closed down last year end.

As someone who’s been consuming products with a biased (probably unreasonable) perception of “international brands are always better” for a long time, there was a shift in me since the beginning of this year. I’ve never pay attention to local products or brands before that.

I ordered one piece of Neem soap in July. I was having a bad case of scaly, dry skin and these soap works as good as Marseille soap. On paper, it seems Neem soap is packed with equally great ingredients if you compare with that of Marseille soap.

I ordered a pack of them one month later and I’m still using it today. So far so good and no negative comment from me.
