The Power of Prickly Pear Seed Oil
In the realm of skincare treasures, one ingredient stands out for its exceptional qualities—Prickly Pear Seed Oil. Within the STOKED ABOUT collection, this elixir reigns supreme, offering a myriad of benefits that elevate your skincare routine to new heights. Let's delve into what makes Prickly Pear Seed Oil so extraordinary.
What Is Prickly Pear Seed Oil?
Contrary to its prickly name, Prickly Pear Seed Oil is a soothing marvel derived from the seeds of the opuntia cactus fruit. Originating from regions like Mexico and the Caribbean, this desert plant has gained global recognition for its superfood status. Despite its abundance in nature, extracting the oil is a meticulous process, with each seed carefully handpicked from the fruit's pulp. Only 5% of oil can be extracted from these seeds, requiring significant time and effort—approximately one million seeds and 36 hours of work to produce just one liter of oil.
Thankfully, the cultivation of the opuntia cactus is sustainable, requiring minimal water and contributing positively to biodiversity. Our Prickly Pear Seed Oil is sourced from cold-pressed, certified organic seeds in Morocco, ensuring the highest quality and purity.
Why Is Prickly Pear Seed Oil So Effective?
Prickly Pear Seed Oil stands out for its rich composition of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids. This nutrient-packed profile makes it a versatile treatment suitable for all skin types, renowned for its ability to soothe without irritation. Research underscores its exceptional qualities, showcasing high levels of linoleic acid, Omega 6 and 9, amino acids, zinc, polyphenols, betalains, and Vitamin K. Notably, it boasts one of the highest concentrations of Vitamin E among plant sources, surpassing even argan oil.
