Prickly pear seed oil,

the rarest in the world

The precious oil of prickly pear seeds comes from the prickly pear tree, also known as hindi, which can be found in the Mediterranean basin. The manufacturing process of this highly coveted elixir makes it a rare commodity: 1 ton of prickly pears is needed to produce 1 liter of prickly pear seed oil. Each seed contains approximately 5% pure oil. The fruits are harvested at peak ripeness, the seeds are meticulously extracted from the fruits, then sorted, washed, dried, and crushed before being cold-pressed. By following each of these steps, we obtain an oil of unparalleled quality.

Prickly pear seed oil is the rarest vegetable oil in the world.

The benefits of prickly pear seed oil for your skin

Moisturizing & Repairing:

Prickly pear seed oil is richer in vitamin E (1000g/kg) than any other vegetable oil, which helps maintain skin suppleness and tone and sculpt the face. Its high omega-6 content (around 60%) regenerates, moisturizes, and nourishes the skin. This active ingredient is essential for our bodies, which cannot synthesize it themselves. We must therefore provide the skin with this essential nutrient from external sources. It helps to fade small spots and scars left by acne. Its high antioxidant activity also promotes cell renewal and reduces redness and hyperpigmentation.

Sebum-regulating:

It also regulates sebum production, making it excellent for oily skin, and its anti-acne properties make it a must-have for problem skin. Quickly absorbed by the epidermis, it is suitable for all skin types. It is a dry oil that does not leave a greasy film and is non-comedogenic. In addition, it refines the skin texture and tightens enlarged pores.

Anti-aging & Wrinkle Prevention:

The sterol content (approximately 10 g/1 kg) in this oil makes it the best ingredient for fighting free radicals, which are responsible for skin aging. Sterols help preserve the skin's hydrolipidic film. Hydration plays an important role in preventing wrinkles. Its anti-aging benefits restore youthfulness to tissues and stimulate cell production. The oil also acts as a barrier against premature aging of the epidermis and helps combat skin slackening. This action helps keep skin naturally moisturized and supple.

More radiant skin:

It enhances your skin's natural radiance. Ideal for dull, lifeless complexions, its unsaturated fatty acids restructure and unify the skin, giving it the tone and radiance it needs.

Why is prickly pear seed oil different from prickly pear oil? Prickly pear seed oil is often confused with prickly pear oil. However, these two oils are very different in terms of their benefits for the skin. Prickly pear oil is produced by macerating fresh prickly pears in sunflower oil, resulting in an oily macerate.

This macerate may offer benefits, but they will be much less than those found in prickly pear seed oil. Prickly pear seed oil is the result of a complex production process in which the oil is cold-pressed from the heart of the seed, where most of the beneficial properties are found, such as vitamin E, omega-6 fatty acids, and a very high sterol content (10 g/1 kg). All Sand Rarity products contain organic prickly pear seed oil.
