Frequently asked questions
What is prickly pear seed oil?
It is the oil pressed from the tiny seeds of the prickly pear cactus fruit, Opuntia ficus-indica (INCI: Opuntia Ficus Indica Seed Oil), also known as barbary fig seed oil. The seeds yield very little oil, which is why it is one of the most prized oils in premium facial care.
How does it feel on the skin?
It is a light, dry-feeling oil that absorbs quickly and leaves skin soft without greasiness. That makes it a favourite for facial serums, eye and night creams, and high-end face oils.
Where does it come from and can it be used in food?
It is of Moroccan origin. This grade is for cosmetic use only and is not intended for food.
What pack sizes are available?
From 250 ml up to a 5 kg pack, all priced online. The specification, SDS and manufacturing flow chart are available on request.
