Did You Know…
Did you know that this little baby is packed with so much goodness for your skin? Prickly pear oil is loaded with nutrients needed for the skin, along with its ability to treat cuts and burns and treat digestive problems. It is a labor intensive process of obtaining the oil and requires a lot of fruit to produce a small amount of product, hence the cost of the oil, but it is well worth it.
It contains…..
Linoleic acid which regenerates the skin cells and strengthens the epidermal layers.
Oleic acid that locks the moisture into the skin.
Polyphenols which are micronutrients that are full of antioxidants that fight free radicals . These are the nasties that cause inflammation to the skin, break it down and cause the ageing process.
Vitamin E and fatty acids Omega 6 & 9 which serve as the essential building blocks of the skins surface, therefore enhancing the smoothness and overall appearance of the skin.
With regular use prickly pear oil can help reduce fine lines and wrinkles, keep it hydrated and help it to maintain its glow. I have become a big fan and intend on using it in more products to add to the range.
