Skincare and Beauty Benefits of Prickly Pear Seed Oil

by Dr. Gabrielle Francis September 16, 2024

Prickly pear seed oil is rich in antioxidants, vitamin E and K, and omega 6 and 9 fatty acids.

Sourced from Moroccan Women Co-Operatives, which have distilled Prickly Pear Seed oil for centuries, this product is perfect for moisturizing skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and calming inflammation.

What's So Special About Prickly Pear Seed Oil?

Prickly Pears are a superfood used for centuries in Mexico by the Aztecs and Mayans. It was such a nourishing ingredient that the Spaniards decided to take it to Morocco, where women used it as a meal and a skincare product for generations.

As a skincare product, the Moroccans use it to protect their skin against the harsh effects of the Sahara desert, keeping it hydrated, reducing wrinkles, and soothing inflammation.

And unlike other oils, Prickly Pear Seed Oil is silky, non-stick, and absorbed quickly by your skin. That means you can apply it to your face in the morning and in a few minutes be out the door, ready for a new day!

Prickly pear seed oil can be used once or twice a day, either before sleep or when waking up.

Use Prickly Pear Seed Oil in the Evening for Extra Hydration

After working the whole day and facing pollution, sunlight, and more factors that dry up your skin, nothing beats organic prickly pear seed oil to feel refreshed.

Once you call it a day in the evening, go to the bathroom, wash your face and then apply 3 - 5 drops of Prickly Pear Seed Oil onto your hands.

Warm them up by gently rubbing your hands together and then spread the oil on your face, while being careful close to the eyes.

The RADIANCE Prickly Pear Seed Cactus Oil combines the effects of the cacti with orange, vanilla, and saffron to act as a serum and moisturizer.

Use this oil in the morning to keep your skin moisturized throughout the day. All you have to do is rub 3 - 5 drops in your hands, and then apply to your face.

This prickly pear seed oil can be used as a standalone skincare product, clearing up pores, reducing wrinkles, and hydrating your skin, thanks to its antioxidants, vitamins, and fatty acids.
