Prickly Pear Carrier Oil

Prickly pear oil is a rich-textured, nourishing oil that is quickly and easily absorbed by the skin and contains many healthful compounds known to have hydrating, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties. Research suggests that the contents of prickly pear oil can reduce skin inflammation, as well as prevent skin damage and acne.

Prickly Pear is nourishing, softening, and high in linoleic acid. This makes the oil ideal for dry and oily, acne-prone skin. Prickly Pear Seed's high oleic acid content also combats free radical damage, reducing the appearance of dark spots that can occur over time.

Luxurious and soothing, it is a popular ingredient in body care lotions, crèmes and herbal balms that boost skin tone and elasticity.

A smooth and fast-absorbing oil with a slightly nutty scent. Excellent as a stand-alone or carrier oil. High in both linoleic and oleic fatty acids, as well as many antioxidants. It's wonderful in both hair and skin care products that focus on hydration.

Appearance: Yellow-green slightly viscous liquid.
