Prickly Pear Seed Oil

Origin: Tunisia | Extraction: Cold-Pressed | Certifications: COSMOS Organic

INCI: Opuntia Ficus-Indica Seed Oil

The prickly pear grows wild across Tunisia; its fruit sold by the roadside in summer. The oil is cold-pressed from the tiny seeds inside, requiring roughly 1 million seeds to produce a single liter.

The result is a light oil with a dry, silky finish. It sinks in rapidly without clogging pores (Comedogenic Rating: 0), leaving skin soft, nourished, and never greasy.

Key Benefits & Science:

• Moisture Barrier Defense: Naturally rich in Linoleic Acid (Omega-6), an essential fatty acid that reinforces the skin’s lipid barrier to help prevent transepidermal water loss.
• Antioxidant Protection: High concentrations of Vitamin E (tocopherols) and betalains neutralize free radicals from environmental stressors, supporting skin elasticity.
• Visibly Brightening: Contains naturally occurring Vitamin K, which helps soften the appearance of dark circles and hyperpigmentation.

Ideal For: All skin types, including dry, mature, sensitive, and breakout-prone skin.
