Antioxidant-rich care for uneven skin tone. Essential lipids for dry, depleted skin.
Our pure Moroccan Prickly Pear Seed Oil brings together naturally occurring antioxidants and a distinctive essential fatty-acid profile for skin concerned with hyperpigmentation, dark spots and dryness. A concentrated botanical addition to a routine focused on a radiant, more even-looking complexion.
Cold-pressed from prickly pear cactus seeds, this unrefined oil contains 60.4% linoleic acid and 20.9% oleic acid, according to our supplier’s analysis. Its combination of Omega 6, Omega 9 and naturally occurring vitamin E brings replenishing lipid care and antioxidant characteristics together in one pure ingredient.

Ingredient intelligence
INCI: Opuntia Ficus-Indica Seed Oil
60.4% linoleic acid. 20.9% oleic acid. A distinctive botanical lipid profile for dry, depleted skin.
Cold-pressed from prickly pear cactus seeds, this oil combines a high proportion of essential Omega 6 with nourishing Omega 9 fatty acids. Understanding that balance explains why we choose it for lipid replenishment and skin-barrier care.
Linoleic acid | Omega 6 | 60.4%
The defining fatty acid in our supplier’s analysis. Linoleic acid is an essential fatty acid involved in healthy skin-barrier function, making this linoleic-rich oil a purposeful addition to routines focused on dryness and depleted skin lipids.
Oleic acid | Omega 9 | 20.9%
An emollient fatty acid that helps condition dry, rough-feeling skin. It complements the oil’s linoleic-rich composition, contributing nourishment and glide during application.
Naturally occurring antioxidants
Prickly Pear Seed Oil is also recognised for its naturally occurring tocopherols, forms of vitamin E with antioxidant activity. These complement its fatty-acid profile, bringing antioxidant chemistry alongside replenishing lipid care.
Natural composition may vary between batches.
How to use
Warm 2–4 drops between your fingertips and gently press over the face, neck and décolletage, morning or evening.
Apply after toner and water-based serums. If using moisturiser, press the oil over it as your final nourishing step. For targeted application, concentrate a small amount on areas of concern. In the morning, finish with sunscreen.
Hair: Smooth 1–2 drops through dry hair ends to condition and improve manageability.
Body: Massage a few drops into damp skin, concentrating on dry areas such as elbows, knees and cuticles.
