I met and interviewed ‘The Father of Modern Neem’, Professor Dr. Heinrich Schmutterer, in 2015.

Conclusion
In 1994, manufacturers in the Western world had limited knowledge about the neem tree’s versatility and benefits. However, in recent years, there has been a surge in worldwide interest in neem-based products, with large corporations like Costco, Colgate, and Wal Mart offering neem-based cosmetics and personal care items. Today, neem products can be found around the world, and this trend is just getting started. In fact, the United Nations has declared neem as the ‘Tree of the 21st Century’.
As pioneers in the Neem Revolution, I take pride that we at Ferlow Botanicals contributed to this movement.
