Prickly pear seed oil is an excellent choice for mature, aging or damaged skin.

Prickly Pear Seed Oil is one of the most expensive beauty oils in the world.

Its production requires a labor intensive and time consuming (up to four days) process manually handled by Moroccan women at cooperatives.

The Prickly Pear seeds are separated from the pulp and are then dried before being cold pressed.

Because each seed contains only 5% of oil, up to 60 lbs. of seeds (and a half a ton of fruits) are required to yield about 34oz. of oil.
