The prickly pear is a cactus that grows in abundance around the Mediterranean basin. Prickly pear oil is a very valuable and very rare oil obtained only by cold pressing of Opuntia ficus indica seeds. This precious oil has amazing regenerating, dry-resistant and healing properties. Its exceptional richness in vitamin E (about 1000 mg / kg) and sterols (about 10 g / kg) give it an extraordinary ability to protect the skin from free radicals. It also contains ample amounts of essential fatty acids, including linoleic acid (omega-6), which is an excellent skin conditioner and repairer. Therefore, this oil is an exceptional ally in the fight against aging of the skin. This precious and very rare oil should not be confused with the olive oil of prickly pear, it is less expensive but also less active.
