From the seeds of the prickly pear, this precious oil is a real asset for the skin (it takes 800kg of fresh fruit to obtain 20kg of seeds, which contain 5% oil).
Prickly pear seed oil is particularly renowned for its incomparable regenerating and moisturising properties, making it indispensable for the care of mature and dry skin. Thanks to its high concentration of vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant, and essential fatty acids such as omegas 6 and 9, it helps to combat the signs of skin ageing by neutralising free radicals and repairing damaged cells.
Its action on skin elasticity and firmness is remarkable: by penetrating deep into the epidermis, it revitalises tissues, improves skin texture and helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This oil is also excellent for maintaining optimal hydration throughout the day, without leaving a greasy film, making it ideal for daily use. Suitable for all skin types, it is particularly beneficial for the driest skin vulnerable to the signs of ageing.
Prickly pear seed oil is also an excellent natural anti-ageing agent. It protects the skin from the free radicals responsible for premature ageing, while neutralising the harmful effects of external aggressors such as pollution and UV rays. This antioxidant protection helps to keep skin looking young and radiant, while combating the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. In addition, this oil promotes skin elasticity, strengthening skin tissue and helping to prevent and reduce the appearance of stretch marks, particularly on areas prone to stretching such as the stomach, hips and thighs.
Applied as a hair mask before shampooing, it deeply nourishes the hair fibre, repairing dry, damaged and dull hair.
When used daily, a few drops of oil applied to dry ends after styling will help tame frizz, smooth hair and give it a natural shine. It can also be used to soothe a dry or irritated scalp, thanks to its anti-inflammatory, nourishing and regenerating properties, promoting a healthy environment for hair growth.
How to use it
In the morning and/or evening, after cleansing and removing make-up, gently massage a few drops of oil all over your face.
Scars, stretch marks, brown spots: apply a few drops to the area to be treated and gently massage in using circular movements until completely absorbed.
For deeply nourished ends: soak your hair (from scalp to ends) in this oil. Leave on for at least 30 minutes or overnight (for maximum results), then shampoo.
Our tips
With regular use, prickly pear seed oil will beautify your nails while improving the appearance of dry cuticles. Just one drop is enough to deeply nourish each nail.

FAQ
How are pure oils stored?
Pure plant oils should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight. You don’t need to put them in the fridge.
Our cases are also present to protect our oils and especially their properties, guaranteeing them a better and longer conservation.
How to know the optimal use-by date?
The DLUO (optimal use-by date) is present on the case as well as on the product label.
What’s a first cold-pressed oil?
A pure oil is obtained by the first cold pressing of carefully selected seeds, nuts, etc. Cold pressing is a mechanical extraction method that is carried out at low temperature, thus preserving all the properties and requiring no additives. This extraction method gives a pure and real oleaginous “fruit juice”.
What is the difference between an oil extracted by first cold pressing and an oily macerate?
Some plants cannot produce oil by first cold pressing extraction. We then speak of oily macerates: part of the fresh or dry plant (flowers, fruits, leaves, etc.) macerates for several weeks in a neutral vegetable oil such as sunflower oil. The preparation is then filtered and makes it possible to obtain a pure oil enriched with the active ingredients contained in the plant.
How to recognize a quality pure plant oil?
There are many qualities of pure oils. In order to guarantee impeccable quality, it is sufficient to check whether the oil is:
• Virgin: this means that the oil has not undergone any treatment before or after pressing, it is a pure oil which has simply been filtered to remove any impurities.
• Extracted by first cold pressing or oily macerate.
• Certified ORGANIC: certification by the Ecocert organization and labeling by Cosmébio and Cosmos guarantees that the plant from which the oil originates has been produced according to the principles of Organic Agriculture, and that it does not there is no phytosanitary product in it.
All our pure oils are subject to rigorous analyzes before being put on sale (visual, olfactory, tactile, chromatographic and pesticide) to provide you with oils of irreproachable quality.
Why can the colors/odors of the oils vary?
Our pure oils may present olfactory and/or visual variations from one batch to another. As our oils are natural, pure and not modified, their color and smell vary according to the environmental factors during the harvest such as the climatic and geographical conditions (sunshine, humidity, exposure, altitude, nature of the soil, etc.). This does not modify their intrinsic properties in any way. These visual/olfactory variations from one batch to another are therefore the result of total naturalness and in no way harm our vegetable oils. All our pure plant oils are subject to rigorous analyzes before being put on sale (visual, olfactory, tactile, chromatographic and pesticide) to provide you with oils of irreproachable quality.
Can I ingest this vegetable oil?
Our vegetable oils are intended for cosmetic use only.
