It's lined with a mylar-like material on the inside and strong plastic on the outside, so it ships and stores well in the original package.- The ziplock on the top works well, preventing slips and spills (important when working with a loose powder)- The neem leaf is a fine ground powder with a soft texture. Very helpful when making topical products such as face masks, salves, balms or toothpaste. It's also useful for mixing into shakes or teas. Anyone will tell you, Neem leaf does not taste great so being able to disguise it easily in recipes is very useful. The fine powder has a nice texture and unlike other brands I've tried, Blue Lily Organics does not have a gritty texture.- It's organic! This is very important when using for herbal medicine both for internal and external application.Cons:- Neem can stain clothing and doesn't taste great, but these are just natural properties of Neem and not a fault of the product.Uses:Can be used to make acne spot treatment, wrinkle creams, toothpaste, topical wound treatment, topical anti-fungal foot treatment and lice wash. Internally it can be used as adjunct therapy for diabetes, cancer, hypoglycemia, viral infections, fungal infections, bacterial infections, weight loss and many other health benefits.I use it to make skin salves, as a spot acne treatment and to treat fungal infections for my husband. All in all this is a very high quality product. It should be stored in a dark, cool, dry location for longevity since it's a large bag and will last a long time. I will definitely be ordering again!

I put this in my smoothies and I also plan on making salves with it as well.I received it at a discount rate in exchange of leaving an honest review.

I got this for use on my dog that was having severe mange from mites. All her hair fell out and she was devouring herself in misery. Flea control was not controlling the problem. She picks up the mites rolling in the dry grass. I worked out my own system of application and it works a treat. I take about 2 cups of water, add two heaping spoons of the Neem powder, then microwave for 2 minutes. I let the mixture steep for a day or so, stirring it occasionally. I then give it a good stir and pour it into a used squirt bottle. I then put on some latex gloves and apply the solution to a dry dog. Shake occasionally while applying to get the powder particles into the mixture. After coating the dog all over I let her air dry. No rinsing is needed. Her skin has completely cleared up and her hair has come back. She is also a happy dog now. I treat her about every week. This stuff is great and natural.

The powder seems fresh and potent. It is also relatively chipper than I could find in other places.

The Neem Powder has many benefits. It was very helpful for my gums, and added it to my homemade mouthwash and toothpaste. I even give a little to my dog.
