Prickly Pear Seed Oil
INCI: opuntia ficus-indica seed oil
Prickly pear seed oil (Opuntia ficus-indica) combines outstanding vitamin E (tocopherols), ~60% linoleic acid, and betalains in one of the lightest fast-absorbing textures among premium oils. It replenishes essential fatty acids for barrier repair, delivers strong antioxidant defence, and suits sensitive, dehydrated, and ageing skin alike. Traditional Amazigh (Berber) use for wound care aligns with its modern regenerating reputation. Use 2–4 drops at night, pressed over damp skin. Yield of ~1 tonne of fruit per litre of oil justifies the cost — and demands scepticism toward cheap imitations diluted with filler oils.
