Anti-aging & regenerating action: Rich in linoleic acid (up to 66%) and natural vitamin E, the seed oil deeply nourishes the skin and stimulates collagen and elastin synthesis. It helps maintain the density and suppleness of the eye contour, while reducing fine lines. The phytosterols present (β-sitosterol, campesterol) soothe inflammation and strengthen the skin barrier.

Hydration & cellular protection: Oleic acid and natural mucilages form a light biomimetic film that preserves hydration and protects the delicate skin around the eyes from dehydration and external aggressions. The result: rested eyes, and supple, silky skin with no greasy effect.

Soothing and brightening effect of the flower extract: The floral extract, rich in flavonoids (quercetin, isorhamnetin) and phenolic acids (gallic acid), acts deeply to neutralize free radicals, inhibit enzymes responsible for skin sagging (collagenase, elastase), and slow down the visible aging of the eye contour. It also helps regulate melanin production, thus limiting spots and hyperpigmentation of dark circles.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I apply my oil to my skin?

Place 3 to 5 drops in the palm of your hand, then gently massage into your face, body, and/or hair, avoiding contact with eyes. The precious oil can be used daily, morning or evening, as preferred.
Morning routine
Apply every morning after cleansing the face/body, preferably before applying cream, to allow the skin to absorb the treatment.
Night routine
Apply every evening after cleansing the face/body, just before going to bed, so that the active ingredients penetrate all night when the skin regenerates.

Can oil be used on oily skin?

Yes, you can use an oil on oily skin, provided you choose the right one. Contrary to popular belief, some oils can regulate sebum production and restore the complex balance of your epidermis.
Here are some plant-based oils recommended for oily skin:
Jojoba oil: Similar to the sebum produced by the body, this oil is much loved by our skin and helps rebalance sebum production.
Nigella oil: It is antibacterial, nigella oil effectively eliminates skin imperfections.
Hemp oil: It deeply moisturizes the skin without leaving a greasy finish.
It's important to note that even if oily skin doesn't need to be nourished, hydration is essential. Poor hydration could prompt the epidermis to produce even more sebum to hydrate itself, worsening the vicious cycle of oily skin. It is therefore crucial to act directly on the skin with appropriate care.

How should I store my oil?

Store at room temperature, out of sight and reach of children, in a dry place away from UV rays and light.
Avoid significant thermal shocks.

Is pure prickly pear oil effective against wrinkles?

Yes, it is effective against wrinkles and dark circles. Thanks to its richness in vitamin E, essential fatty acids, and sterols, it firms the skin, reduces fine lines, and lightens dark circles with regular application.

How to recognize a quality prickly pear seed oil?

A quality oil is 100% pure, virgin, and cold-pressed. It contains no additives or fragrances, is usually packaged in a dark glass bottle, and comes from seeds originating in Morocco or Tunisia.

Prickly pear seeds, desert treasure

Hidden within the heart of the prickly pear fruit are true treasures: the seeds, small, hard kernels nestled in the juicy pulp of the fig. These seeds are the origin point of a rare and precious ingredient, used for generations for its exceptional properties.

After harvesting, the fruits are opened, and their seeds carefully extracted, washed, and dried. They are then ready to be used for various applications: cold-pressed to produce one of the world's most valuable oils.

**Prickly Pear Seed Oil Production**
A single prickly pear, weighing approximately 160 grams, contains up to 300 seeds. It is from these seeds that prickly pear seed oil is extracted. Slowly pressed using a stone mill according to an ancient traditional method, the seeds yield an oil of exceptional quality. This artisanal process is time-consuming: approximately 8 hours of pressing are required to obtain just one liter.

The oil thus extracted is virgin, pure, and unrefined. It is simply filtered to remove solid residues, without undergoing any thermal or chemical treatment. Its aroma is delicately fruity, with subtle notes of toasted hazelnut. Extremely rare, this precious oil requires nearly a ton of figs to obtain 35 kg of seeds, or barely 1 liter of oil, making it the most expensive vegetable oil in the world.

**Properties of Prickly Pear Seed Oil**
**Natural Anti-Aging Care**
Prickly pear oil, rich in vitamin E, omega-6, and sterols, protects the skin from premature aging caused by free radicals. It promotes cell regeneration and collagen production, thus providing a tightening and firming effect.

A true natural elixir, prickly pear seed oil offers deep hydration without being comedogenic. With a comedogenicity index of 0, meaning it does not clog pores, it is perfectly suited for all skin types, even the most sensitive or blemish-prone. Its light texture penetrates instantly, leaving the skin soft, radiant, and perfectly clear.

**Hair and Scalp Care**
It strengthens hair thanks to its antioxidant fatty acids, promoting cell renewal, hair growth, and slowing down its aging. This helps to strengthen hair and limit hair loss.
