Our organically crafted prickly pear seed oil, also known as Barbary Fig Oil or Nopal Oil, is cold pressed from the seeds of the Optunia Ficus Indica, growing in the arid valleys of southwestern Morocco. Prickly Pear Seed Oil has the benefits of its outstanding bioactive constituents (vitamins A, E and K, fatty acids, phytosterols, and polyphenols) when used in skin care and cosmeceutical applications.
Prickly Pear Seed Oil contains higher concentrations (around 150%) of Vitamin E than in Argan Oil, which helps to promote smoother, brighter skin; as well as Vitamin K, which helps to improve the appearance of dark spots, hyper-pigmentation and uneven skin tones. This nutrient-rich, fast absorbing oil is also high in Linoleic Acid, which helps to maintain skin's supple look and brightens the complexion. Prickly Pear Seed Oil penetrates deeply into the skin to provide intense hydration without clogging the pores. When used as a night serum, it may help to reduce the appearance of dark spots and dark circles, making the skin appear visibly younger. This oil helps promote elasticity and provides the skin a smoother, refined skin texture.
Prickly Pear Seed Oil has serious anti-inflammatory properties, helping wounds heal faster, and can even help repair damage caused by UV rays and environmental pollution. Its nutrient rich content also helps to promote shiny, moistuised, rejuvenated hair and nails.
