Why Prickly Pear Extract for Hair?

Prickly pear extract (not oil) is rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and hydrating compounds that help strengthen and revitalize hair. Scientific studies show it can support scalp health, reduce oxidative stress, and even promote hair growth by stimulating follicle activity. Its natural humectant properties lock in moisture, reduce frizz, and boost shine—without weighing hair down. Ideal for dry, damaged, or sensitive scalps, this extract brings lightweight nourishment and lasting hydration.
Science-backed note:
Studies have shown prickly pear seed oil can significantly improve hydration and barrier function when applied to skin and hair.
