Prickly Pear Seed Oil - Cold Pressed - 10ML

Prickly Pear Seed Oil is a cold pressed carrier oil from the seeds of Opuntia ficus-indica, used mainly in facial oils, serums, and other lighter oil-phase skincare products. It has a silky feel and fast absorption, which makes it especially useful when a non-greasy finish is preferred. This is a carrier oil, not an essential oil, and it is recommended for cosmetic use only.

It is especially suited to formulas that want a refined, lightweight oil feel. Why we love it: We choose to stock Prickly Pear Seed Oil because it gives facial oils and serums a lighter, more elegant finish without losing that nourishing oil feel. It is a lovely option for makers building more premium-feeling oil blends.
