Reluxury Prickly Pear seed oil: our premium beauty oil

The botanical name of Prickly Pear seed oil in the “ International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients ” is “opuntia ficus indica oil”

Reluxury Prickly Pear seed oil is certified 100% natural organic by Ecocert and produced in very small batches due to its preciousness.

It is carefully handled, stored and packaged to maintain the purity, freshness and beneficial properties of this incredibly nutritious oil.

We use cold pressure to extract our oil from the seeds. Other Prickly Pear (non-seed) oils exist and should not be confused with the seed oil: these are macerated extracts of the flowers or fruits of the Prickly Pear cactus.
Prickly Pear’s botanical name is Opuntia Ficus Indica. The plant grows naturally without human intervention or fertilizers in semi-arid areas of Morocco. It has an incredible ability to survive in extremely dry areas with no access to water for long periods of time without impacting the quality of its fruit. These fruit contain many small dark seeds which are then separated from the rest of the fruit. They are then dried and cold pressed to obtain the Prickly Pear seed oil. It is an extremely labour intensive process and the vast amount of cactus needed to obtain just one litre of oil makes it one of the most expensive and exclusive oils in the world.

The production of 1 litre prickly pear seed oil takes:

● Approximately 1 million prickly pear seeds.

● 36 hours of manual labour.

● Half a ton of Prickly Pear fruits.

The immense benefits are totally worth the labour. Prickly Pear seed oil does everything Argan oil does, but does it better. This is due to its richer composition of anti-aging elements like Vitamin E and antioxidants. This oil is also known as Barbary fig seed oil, Indian fig seed oil, and prickly cactus seed oil.

Prickly Pear is extremely high in essential fatty acids such as linoleic acid, Omega 6 and 9, and the natural antioxidants contained in Tocopherols: Vitamin E. It is also rich in amino acids which stimulate collagen production to promote faster cell regeneration.

Finally, it also contains Zinc and vitamin K which lightens under-eye dark circles and reactivates the skin’s elasticity. Prickly Pear seed oil contains 150% of the Tocopherols (vitamin E) found in Argan oil. It stimulates new cell generation, calms inflammation due to its flavonoid content and protects skin against UV damage and free radicals. Prickly Pear seed oil is light and has a light scent reminiscent of wet hay. It absorbs quickly and is very moisturizing to skin cells.

It keeps the complexion looking young by preventing premature or excessive aging.

Here are some other skin benefits of the Prickly Pear seed oil :

● Erases hyperpigmentation spots.

● Brightens under-eye circles and minimizes under-eye shadows

and spider veins.

● Prevents premature aging and reduces appearance of wrinkles.

● Neutralizes free radicals that cause signs of aging.

● Tightens pores for a smoother and more refined skin texture.

● Nourishes, moisturizes, and softens the skin by restoring elasticity.

● Protects against free radicals.
1 to 3 drops are sufficient on the face or neck in the evening after the cleansing routine.

We recommend using Prickly Pear seed oil like you would use Argan oil for your face.

Prickly Pear seed oil can be used as a night serum, we recommend you alternate it with argan oil.

It can also be used as a moisturizing foundation before using your night cream or facial lotion.
