Prickly pear seed oil, also known as cactus oil, is one of Morocco’s best-kept beauty secrets. Extracted from the seeds of the prickly pear fruit, this precious oil is packed with essential nutrients that nourish and rejuvenate the skin. At Agafay Cosmetics, we are proud to incorporate this miracle oil into our products, offering your skin a luxurious and natural treatment.
History and Origins of Prickly Pear Seed Oil
The prickly pear cactus, native to Morocco, has been used for centuries for its medicinal and cosmetic properties. Prickly pear seed oil is obtained through a labor-intensive cold-pressing process of the tiny seeds within the fruit. It takes nearly a ton of fruit to produce just one liter of oil, making it one of the most valuable oils in the world.
Skin Benefits: Anti-Aging, Hydration, Elasticity
Prickly pear seed oil is renowned for its exceptional anti-aging properties. It is particularly rich in essential fatty acids, such as linoleic acid (omega 6), which helps restore the skin’s lipid barrier, preventing dehydration. Additionally, its high concentration of vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant, helps neutralize free radicals and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
