Prickly Pear Seed Oil, Cold Pressed, Unrefined, Cosmetic Grade
Prickly Pear Seed Oil: This is a highly purified cosmetic-grade plant oil. Prickly pear is the fruit from Cactus, also known as barbary fig or Nopal. Our Prickly Pear Oil is cold-pressed from the seeds of the Prickly Pear. The oil is then fine-filtered to remove sediment, leaving cosmeceutical bioactives like vitamins A, E, and K, phytosterols, polyphenols, antioxidants, and beneficial fatty acids. The high concentration of Vitamin E helps to promote skin healing and smoother skin, while Vitamin K and Linoleic acid improve skin tone and brighten complexion. Prickly Pear Seed Oil contains naturally occurring antioxidants that act as free radical scavengers to combat signs of aging and repair UV damage. It is also known to have anti-inflammatory properties and a low comedogenic rating, providing skin hydration without clogging the pores. Prickly Pear Seed Oil can also be used for hair care, adding shine, hydration, and conditioning properties to the hair cuticle.
