Words by Anny Schneider
Very fine, rare and precious butter, it comes from the seeds of the prickly pear fruit (actually from Mexico), a kind of cactus very present in the semi-desert lands of the Mediterranean.
Given its high content of linoleic acid and omega 9 , phytosterols and vitamin E , it is mainly reserved for the skin of the face, to fight against wrinkles and moisturize very dry skin.
Origin
Cold-pressed fat of the seeds of Opuntia ficus-indica originating in Morocco.
Properties
Prickly pear fat is non-comedogenic.
Its method of extraction makes it possible to preserve all the precious qualities contained in the seeds of the fruit: antioxidant, anti-aging, moisturizing, regenerating, nourishing, softening.
Powerful beauty bath that soothes irritations, repairs damage linked to pollution, stress and the marks of time.
Exceptional nourishment for dry skin, repairing damaged and irritated skin.
Mixes very well with organic olive oil, coconut or sweet almond oil to create a restorative synergy for the skin.
Suggestions for use
Apply to the skin and gently massage until absorbed.
Cautions
Keep away from children, air, heat and light.
Gently heat it in the palm of your hand to thin it out before applying it to the face.
