Prickly pear (Opuntia ficus-indica)
With its fruits and valuable oils, the plant is not only a delicacy, but has always been used as a traditional medicinal plant. Due to its many valuable ingredients, it is also considered a miracle cure in cosmetics and the beauty secret of the Amazig women.
The prickly pear is therefore a true all-round talent.

In order to extract the rare prickly pear seed oil, the seeds of the fruit must be separated from the pulp and dried. The dried kernels are then pressed to extract the valuable oil. The ingredients of cold-pressed oils have the greatest effect.

The prickly pear seed oil has a moisture-retaining effect and is the optimal care, especially for dry and sensitive skin. The phytosterols it contains help to relieve itching and inflammation. This secondary plant substance is not found in such a high concentration in any other plant.

The following ingredients in particular have positive effects on the skin and hair:
Omega-9 has a pain-reducing effect and promotes blood circulation.
Omega-6 is also known as linoleic acid. Linoleic acid is one of the essential fatty acids, but is not produced by our body itself. If there is enough of it in our body, it sometimes helps us heal wounds. But linoleic acid can also be used externally, for example, to reduce skin irritation.
Vitamin C protects the skin and organs from free radicals. It has been used in vegan cosmetics for several years to combat wrinkles. It has a strong antioxidant effect and ensures firm skin.
The substances betanin and indicaxathine in particular have a strong antioxidant effect and are able to rejuvenate the skin. Tocopherol, known as vitamin E, like vitamin C, has a high antioxidant effect and provides moisture to the top layer of the skin.

Prickly pear seed oil supports the natural renewal of skin cells and counteracts the formation of fine wrinkles and dark circles under the eyes. Age spots, pigment spots and acne are also reduced with regular use. After just a few uses, the skin appears firmer and healthier and has a beautiful glow.
Kakutsfig seed oil can be used pure or mixed into your own cream.
