Arc en Sels Organic Prickly Pear Cactus Oil Elixir

Properties

This first-press, cold-pressed oil from organic prickly pear seeds is extremely rich in vitamin E and sterols, both of which possess exceptional properties that protect the skin against free radicals. Furthermore, prickly pear oil is rich in essential fatty acids that protect the skin from dehydration, improve hydration, slow down the ageing process and prevent wrinkles. Prickly pear oil contains 82–92% oleic and linoleic acids, 9–16% palmitic acid and 1–2% stearic acid.

Why choose Arc En Sels prickly pear oil?

This Ecocert-certified organic oil is not only a beauty icon, but also a symbol of sustainability and fair trade. Prickly pear seeds contain no more than 6–10% oil. It therefore takes 25–30 kg of seeds to produce 1 litre of oil, sourced from approximately 1,000 kg of prickly pear fruit, making pure prickly pear seed oil one of the most exclusive oils in the world. Arc En Sels works with Moroccan women’s cooperatives, meaning your purchase contributes to local employment and a fairer world.

Origin

This organic prickly pear oil has been produced with respect for the environment by a women’s cooperative in Morocco.
