Also referred to as barbary fig oil or indian fig oil, prickly pear seed oil comes from the beautiful prickly pear (Opuntia ficus-indica, in Latin), a member of the cactus family. The plant is comprised of pads, seeds, flowers (usually yellow, red, or purple), trunks, and, of course, the fruit. Like other cactuses, they have also have prickles. Prickly pear cactuses can reach anywhere from 1 foot to 6-7 feet in height.
Where and how is prickly pear seed oil sourced?
While the prickly pear is native to parts of the United States, Mexico, and South America, and also flourishes in Africa, Australia, and the Mediterranean, the best prickly pear seed oil for skin care is sourced from Morocco. (We get ours from the same local women-run cooperative that provides us with our argan oil). To procure the precious oil, the seeds are typically extracted by hand and then run through complex machinery specifically designed for this purpose.
Prickly pear oil is chock-full of vitamins
Did you know that prickly pear oil has 150% more vitamin E than argan oil? It’s true. Since vitamin E is an antioxidant, prickly pear oil fights free radicals and increases cell renewal. This is great news for your skin since all this action prevents wrinkles. It also has vitamin K, which can lighten your undereye circles.
It has a high percentage of unsaturated fatty acids
These fatty acids absorb easily into your skin—without leaving that nasty, greasy residue behind. Plus, the fatty acids moisturize the collagen in your skin and tighten your pores. This leads to more elastic, younger-looking skin.
So many antioxidants = so many skin benefits
In addition to vitamins E and K, prickly pear seed oil has other antioxidants that do some serious work for your skin. These antioxidants increase cell turnover, restore elasticity, brighten your complexion, and reduce redness and dryness.
Prickly pear seed oil is non-comedogenic
The word “oil” might stress you out—but don’t worry. It’s non-comedogenic, which means that prickly pear oil can deeply penetrate your skin without clogging pores or causing breakouts.
It works for all skin types
Whether you have dry skin, sensitive skin, or mature skin, look out for skincare products that include prickly pear oil. You can’t go wrong.
