Organic Prickly Pear Seed Oil, Argan and French Plum Oil
The Opuntia Ficus Indica plant is a member of the cactus family and is commonly known as Prickly Pear (also known as India Fig Opuntia or Barbary Fig). Native to Mexico, it can now be found in various arid and semi-arid areas of the world such as Morocco. Also called the miracle plant for its ability to survive during long droughts and still produce healthy fruits, the cactus plant grows in open fields without exposure to fertilizers or pesticides.
The Prickly Pear fruit contains numerous small black seeds from which the precious Prickly Pear Seed Oil is extracted. The oil has been used by generations of Berber women to fend off the effects of dry desert conditions.

Prickly Pear Seed Oil is one of the most expensive beauty oils in the world. Its production requires a labor-intensive and time consuming (up to four days) process manually handled by Moroccan women at cooperatives.
The Prickly Pear seeds are separated from the pulp and are then dried before being cold-pressed. Because each seed contains only 5% of oil, up to 60 lbs. of seeds (and a half a ton of fruits) are required to yield about 34oz. of oil.
Pure Prickly Pear Seed Oil has a high concentration of Tocopherol (Vitamin E – Antioxidants: phenols, flavonoids {particularly quercetin 3-methyl ether}, betaxanthin, and betacyanin), essential fatty acids (Linoleic Acid or Omega 6) and carotenoids.
This oil contains more Tocopherol than any other oil available in the beauty care market (almost 150% more Tocopherol than Argan oil).
“Tocopherols are molecules with strong antioxidant and free radical scavenging properties.”*
Prickly Pear Seed Oil is a potent non-greasy treatment (due to its high level of antioxidants and fatty acids) that is easily absorbed by the skin. Good quality Prickly Pear Seed Oil should always be protected from the light to assure the preservation of its unique composition (Opaque , dark bottles are recommended),
