Prickly Pear Seed Oil – Premium Moroccan Ingredient for High-End Formulations

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
• Exceptional vitamin E concentration (tocopherols) – strong antioxidant activity
• Phytosterols – support regeneration, firmness, and elasticity

This unique composition positions the oil as a top-tier anti-aging active for cosmetic brands.
