This luxurious and rare oil is obtained from the seeds of the cactus fruit. Prickly Pear Oil is a veritable treasure trove of benefits! It contains antioxidants, vitamins, sterols, and an exceptionally high content (almost 60%) of polyunsaturated essential fatty acids (vitamin F): linoleic acid (also omega-6). Linoleic acid works under the skin’s surface, playing a critical role in the reconstruction of lipids and healthy cell turnover.
