Ignore bad reviews and read the facts below!
First, this is extremely high-grade organic cold-pressed neem oil. I have used it for a long, long time and gone through many vendors/brands.
People complaining about it solidifying don't know anything about neem. That is normal in indoor/cooler temperatures. This is actually a sign you're getting the real deal, and the smell, while not great, is far more repulsive to ticks, mosquitos, and a host of other unwanted "guests" for you and your pet.
My dog just got Lymes from a tick in our back yard in Wisconsin. If he had been covered in a neem solution, the tick would have likely never attached to him, I've seen 50+ ticks jumping off him in the forest while covered in neem solution as if their lives depended on it. He's also on top of the line flea and tick meds, they are getting worse, you may have seen or read about them getting worse in the news - they are really, really bad and working their way west.
I request people stop writing bad reviews over a perfect product because they are uneducated; it just makes you look stupid and hurts the sales and reputation of a good product.
Warm the neem, watch YouTube videos on how to make a proper neem/soap solution, and use the right soap, I recommend Dr. Bronners liquid soap, but REGULAR Dawn dish soap without additives will work well also. The purpose of the soap in the mixture is to make it possible to spray. The soap and oil can also kill many pests on contact by absorbing through their bodies and killing them from the inside out.
Neem is great for beauty, but if you don't like the smell, don't leave a bad review over it - it's supposed to smell like that! This is like getting mad at a wet dog after throwing him in a pool for smelling like a wet dog. If you put neem on yourself, don't expect to smell lovely.
If that is an issue for you, you clearly don't understand the metaphor behind "Beauty is pain."
