Prickly Pear is of the Opuntia family of cactus - also known as Barbary fig, Indian fig, Berber fig, cactus pear or cactus fruit, Aknari. Pharmaceutical grade Prickly pear seed oil for skincare products currently originates from Morocco where the production is strongly regulated.
It grows in dry, hot areas such as Morocco and Mexico (as well in other places in South America, Africa, Australia, and the Mediterranean).
In Morocco also known as the “Miracle Plant”, the Prickly Pear Cactus is able to survive with very little water and still produce healthy fruit and it is grown in open fields without exposure to fertilizers or pesticides.
Cactus pears carry an average of 150-300 seeds each, but each seed contains only a tiny 5% amount of oil. So it takes a ton of fruit to make just one liter of Prickly Pear oil! The seeds are separated from the fruit, dried and than cold-pressed to give a pure oil.
A clear yellow to light green oil with a bland, characteristic odour - fruity / floral / sweet honey-like smell which may be lighter for summer pressings.
It has been used by generations of Berber women in Morocco to fight the effects to skin of dry desert conditions.
It deeply moisturizes and protect not only the skin, but also dry and damaged hair, & restores the moisture levels of nails and cuticles.
Prickly pear seed oil is exceptionally rich in fatty acids, particularly in linoleic acid, which is so essential to human skin health and wellbeing. It is known to nourish and repair skin and keep the collagen layer of your skin nourished. This helps your pores tighten for a more flawless appearance as well.
Prickly Pear Seed Oil is extremely rich in vitamins E and K, essential fatty acids and antioxidants, that even stimulate collagen production and helps brighten under-eye circles and improves the appearance of dark spots and uneven skin pigmentation.
Prickly Pear oil is high in water-binding phytosterols, especially high in beta-sitosterol which helps the skin retain moisture, making for a strong, healthy skin barrier, encourages new collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin. Thus, researchers have suggested that phytosterols can reverse the effects of ageing, keeping our skin youthful and soft. Together with polyphenols compounds not only provides antioxidants and antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties but also fights oxidative stress (an imbalance between free radical production and the body’s ability to defend against them). Like tocopherols (Vitamin E), polyphenols are also free radical scavengers, prevent and treat sun damage, and can help with redness and irritation.
It contains more Vitamin E than any beauty oil on the market (150% more than Argan oil, 403 mg/kg mostly in the form of γ-tocopherol). Vitamin E have strong antioxidant and free radical scavenging properties, known to help heal wounds faster and aid in skin regeneration. It is a marvellous component and ingredient to have in your anti-ageing arsenal.
