Origin & Authenticity
Prickly pear seed oil is extracted from the seeds of Opuntia ficus-indica, a cactus naturally thriving in the arid regions of Morocco. Due to the extremely low oil content of its seeds, this ingredient is considered one of the most precious plant oils in the world, making it a premium choice for high-value skincare formulations.
Composition
Prickly pear seed oil is characterized by a rich and naturally balanced profile:
- High linoleic acid content (Omega-6) – supports barrier repair and skin hydration
- Oleic acid (Omega-9) – enhances absorption and nourishment
