Pure Opuntia Prickly Pear Seed Oil is a certified organic cosmetic oil obtained through cold pressing of prickly pear seeds.
This precious oil, not to be confused with the much less active prickly pear macerate, is a rare and almost unique ingredient in cosmetics. It takes about 1 ton of fruit—equivalent to 40 kg of seeds—to produce just one liter of this oil.
Due to the difficulty of extraction and the rarity of the raw material, it remains one of the most exclusive ingredients in the beauty world.
This highly valuable oil is known for its exceptional antioxidant, regenerating, and moisturizing properties, earning it the name “Oil of Youth.”
It is particularly rich in Vitamin E (around 1000 mg/kg) and sterols (around 10 g/kg), giving it a powerful ability to fight free radicals. It also contains high levels of essential fatty acids, including linoleic acid (omega-6), making it an excellent ally in preventing wrinkles while maintaining skin elasticity and firmness.
It nourishes, protects, soothes, softens, and regenerates the skin. From the very first applications, it enhances radiance, luminosity, and elasticity.
