Inci:Opuntia Ficus-Indica Seed Oil

A very stable oil that is a powerful moisturiser which absorbs easily and quickly into the skin. Very versatile with many uses.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

A clear yellow to green oil with a bland, characteristic odour. It is expressed from the seeds of the organic Prickly Pear fruit and is also known as Barbary Fig Oil.
 
The seeds are taken off the organic fruit and then dried in the sun. After drying, the oil is extracted but as seeds contain less than 5% oil, it takes at least 10,000 seeds to produce just 1kg of oil. As this is an expensive process, fake oil is also produced by macerating the flowers in a cheap vegetable oil. We do not stock this - our Prickly Pear Seed Oil is the genuine thing!
  • Use 1% to 100%.
  • Oil soluble so cannot be used in water only products. It can be used in small amounts in water based gels that will hold it in suspension.
  • Heat stable so can be used in Stage 1 (fat stage) when making creams and lotions.
Combine Prickly Pear Seed Oil with Shea Butter Oil, Castor Oil and Avocado Oil for a super effective massage oil blend. Adding a little EcoSilk, Chia Seed Oil and Vitamin E will make it a premium, luxury massage blend.
Blend Prickly Pear Seed Oil with Hazelnut Oil and Squalane oils for an excellent skincare product. Consider using a little Geranium Essential Oil as well as Palmarosa Essential Oil.

HOW TO USE IT

Skin Care
  • Regular use of this Prickly Pear Seed Oil can help to keep the skin smooth and firm, giving the skin a natural luminescence.
  • It feels very light on the skin and spreads and absorbs easily improving skin elasticity. Creams and lotions made with this oil tend to feel very light and sink in quickly. This is even more noticeable when using Emulsifier M as the emulsifier.
  • Prickly Pear Seed Oil is a powerful moisturiser and leaves the skin feeling velvety soft.
  • It is good for men's skincare products as well as products for blemish prone skin.
  • It is a good emollient and keeps the skin soft and flexible. This is a benefit in cuticle and nail oils as well as in massage oils. Blend with more lubricating oils like Avocado Oil or Moringa Oil for massage.
 
  • Mature, ageing or damaged skin will benefit by using Prickly Pear Seed Oil. It helps to combat the signs of ageing from the sun as well as from wind. It locks in moisture and is a great emollient. Especially effective with other anti ageing active ingredients such as Eco Marine Algae Extract and Algaktiv Zen. Adding Pumpkin Seed Oil will give some lifting quality to the skin.
  • Good skin soothing qualities make Prickly Pear Seed Oil useful in products for acne prone skin.
Hair Care
  • Prickly Pear Seed Oil conditions and protects the hair without adding weight.
  • It softens and moisturises the hair whilst nourishing the scalp. Use in shampoos and hair conditioners.
  • It is excellent for keeping the hair flexible and strong.

Lovely oil

I have bought this oil before from Aromantic and believe it to be of high quality. It’s a beautiful luxurious oil that I add to other Aromantic oils or use on it’s own.
