ORGANIC PRICKLY PEAR OIL, 50ml

£ 26.00

—  What is it?  —

Our prickly pear is sourced directly from the sun-drenched landscapes of Morocco, and produced in our family-owned cooperative.

Prickly pear is one of the most highly prized ingredients in skincare – and for good reason. Obtained by cold-pressing the seeds from the pulp of the prickly pear cactus, this oil is packed with essential nutrients, including vitamins E and K, fatty acids (omega-6 and omega-9), antioxidants (including polyphenols and phytosterols), tocopherols and minerals such as magnesium, potassium, and zinc. These elements work together to nourish your skin and hair and provide protection from free radicals and environmental stressors.

The unique climate and soil conditions of Morocco contribute to a high concentration of beneficial compounds, making prickly pear oil effective in promoting skin hydration, reducing inflammation, and providing anti-ageing benefits.

—  How it feels  —

Silky, lightweight, and non-greasy.

—  Skin types  —

  • Dry skin – its rich fatty acids and vitamin E provide deep hydration and help to restore the skin’s natural moisture barrier
  • Sensitive skin – the oil’s soothing properties help to calm irritation and reduce redness without causing further sensitivity
  • Mature skin – high in antioxidants and vitamins, it helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

Description

The process of producing prickly pear begins with the careful hand-picking of prickly pear fruits from the cactus. These fruits are then peeled to reveal the seeds, which are separated and sun-dried.

Once dried, the seeds undergo a cold-press extraction method, preserving their rich nutrients and ensuring the oil remains pure and potent.

This labour-intensive process, carried out by our family-owned cooperative in Southern Morocco, guarantees that every drop of oil is packed with antioxidants, vitamins E and K, and essential fatty acids.

Harvested using sustainable practices that respect both the environment and the local communities, our oil supports ethical farming.
