Arc en Sels Organic Prickly Pear Cactus Oil Elixir

Properties

The first cold-pressed oil from organic prickly pear seeds is extremely rich in vitamin E and sterols, both of which have extraordinary properties that protect the skin against free radicals. In addition, 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 acid and linoleic acid, 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 a maximum of 6-10% oil. This means that 25-30 kg of seeds, sourced from approximately 1,000 kg of prickly pear fruit, are needed to produce 1 litre of oil, making pure prickly pear seed oil one of the most exclusive oils in the world. Arc En Sels works with Moroccan women's cooperatives, so your purchase contributes to local employment and a fairer world.

Fairtrade

This organic prickly pear oil is produced with respect for the environment by a cooperative of 20 women in Morocco, which is supported by Arc en Sels on the basis of fair trade principles. As a result, this cactus provides employment in very arid agricultural areas. Conversely, these fair trade prices ensure that farmers and cooperatives strive for the highest quality of their products. A real win-win situation!

Use

Face

Apply the prickly pear oil to fine lines, dark spots, affected skin and wrinkles. Use as a powerful anti-ageing serum under your night cream. Very suitable as anti-ageing eye care (night).

Scalp

Apply to affected areas on the scalp before washing. Leave on for at least 30 minutes and then wash your hair as usual.

Hair

Apply a few drops to the ends or as a treatment before washing with shampoo.
