PRICKLY PEAR OIL

Prickly Pear Oil

Prickly pear oil is a true natural treasure, derived from the fruit of the Opuntia cactus. Highly prized in cosmetics, this rare and precious oil is full of benefits for the skin, hair and nails. Thanks to its richness in vitamin C, sterols and vitamin E, it is a powerful antioxidant and an excellent way to fight against premature aging of cells.

Benefits for the skin:

• Powerful Antioxidant : Prickly Pear Oil is rich in antioxidants that help neutralize free radicals responsible for skin aging. It contributes to cell regeneration and fights the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
• Hydration and regulation : This oil penetrates the skin quickly without leaving a greasy film, making it ideal for dry or combination skin. It deeply hydrates and regulates sebum production, thus avoiding oily skin problems.
• Firming and toning : It helps to firm the skin and improve its elasticity, contributing to the reduction of signs of aging. It is therefore particularly suitable for mature skin.
• Prevention of dehydration : Thanks to its nourishing properties, it prevents dehydration of the skin, restoring softness and radiance.

Benefits for hair:

• Deep Hydration : Prickly Pear Oil is an effective moisturizer for dry, dehydrated hair. It penetrates the scalp and hair, providing maximum hydration without weighing hair down.
• Shine and radiance : It nourishes the hair, restoring shine and vitality. It improves the overall appearance of dull hair, giving it shine and softness.
• Heat Protection : Used as a hair serum, it forms a protective barrier against heating appliances (such as straighteners or curling irons) and UV rays.
• Frizz Reduction : The oil helps smooth hair, reduce frizz and make hair more supple and manageable.

Benefits for nails:

• Nail Strengthening : Thanks to its richness in vitamin E and other nutrients, it helps nourish and strengthen fragile nails, making them less brittle.
