Chinaberry, also known as Melia azedarach, is a tree native to India and Southeast Asia and is known for its medicinal properties. It has been used in traditional Indian medicine for centuries to treat various ailments. In recent years, it has also gained popularity for its potential benefits for skin health.

Chinaberry has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that can help to protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals. These properties can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and other signs of aging, as well as help keep the skin hydrated and supple. It also contains phenolic compounds which help to reduce skin redness and irritations.

Chinaberry can also help to reduce the appearance of acne, pimples, and other skin blemishes by reducing inflammation, bacteria, and sebum production. It can also help to lighten dark spots and discoloration, and even out the skin tone. Finally, it can help to protect the skin from sun damage, reducing the likelihood of developing skin cancer.
