Prickly Pear Cactus Seed Oil – Virgin Organic | Brightening & Restorative Luxury Oil

Pressed from the tiny seeds of the Opuntia ficus-indica cactus, Prickly Pear Cactus Seed Oil is one of the most precious and potent botanical oils in natural skincare. Sustainably sourced from Morocco and cold-pressed to preserve its delicate nutrients, this oil is revered for its ability to brighten, smooth, and deeply rejuvenate the skin.

Lightweight and quickly absorbed, Prickly Pear is often called a “dry” oil — it delivers rich hydration without leaving an oily feel. Its high vitamin E and K content, combined with rare antioxidants, helps reduce redness, even tone, and soften fine lines, leaving skin radiant and supple.

Key Benefits
