Prickly Pear Seed Oil
INCI: Opuntia Ficus-Indica Seed Oil
What It Is
Prickly pear seed oil is a rare, highly nourishing oil extracted from the seeds of the Opuntia ficus-indica cactus fruit. It’s exceptionally rich in linoleic acid, vitamin E, and antioxidants, making it one of the most prized oils for skin regeneration and barrier support.
Why We Use It
We use prickly pear seed oil to deeply hydrate, soothe, and protect the skin. Its lightweight, fast-absorbing texture delivers potent antioxidant benefits while helping to improve elasticity, calm irritation, and support a more even skin tone.
Origin & How It’s Made
Prickly pear seed oil is sourced from the seeds of cactus fruits grown in arid, desert climates. The seeds are manually separated, dried, and cold-pressed to extract the oil—a labor-intensive process that yields a small amount of nutrient-rich oil per batch.
