A Rare Oil, Among the Richest in Natural Active Compounds

The Natural Argania Prickly Pear Seed Oil is a 100% natural oil extracted from the seeds of Opuntia ficus-indica, grown in Morocco. It is one of the plant oils richest in naturally occurring active compounds, and its rarity comes at a cost: approximately 1,000 kg of prickly pear fruit are needed to produce just one litre of oil, with an oil yield of around 5% per seed. This rarity explains its value and makes it especially important to be cautious of counterfeit products, which are increasingly found on the market at unusually low prices.

Rich in vitamin E and linoleic acid, this oil is especially valued in natural moisturizing and anti-aging skincare routines. It also contains PUFAs (including omega-6), MUFAs (including omega-9), palmitic acid and saturated fatty acids — a fatty acid profile that makes it an excellent ingredient to help nourish, protect and soften the skin, while supporting its suppleness and radiant appearance.

Why Is Prickly Pear Seed Oil So Rare and Precious?

The extremely low yield of this oil (around 5% oil per seed, with up to 1,000 kg of fruit needed to produce one litre) makes it one of the most expensive plant oils in the world to produce. This rarity, combined with growing demand, has led to an increase in counterfeit products on the market — often diluted with less expensive plant oils and unable to deliver the full benefits expected from an authentic oil.

A Unique Fatty Acid Profile

Prickly pear seed oil stands out for its high content of vitamin E (a well-known antioxidant) and linoleic acid (an essential omega-6 fatty acid). This nutritional profile makes it a highly sought-after oil in skincare routines aimed at maintaining a youthful-looking appearance and skin comfort over time.

A Dry Oil That Absorbs Quickly

Prickly pear seed oil is what is known as a dry oil: it absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue. This unique texture makes it pleasant to use even on oily or combination skin and easy to incorporate into a daily skincare routine, morning or evening.

Application Steps

1

Prepare Your Skin

Gently cleanse your face and, for better absorption, mist Damascus Rose Hydrosol onto slightly damp skin.

2

Dispense a Few Drops

Using the dropper, dispense just 1 to 2 drops — this concentrated oil requires very little product.

3

Warm Between Your Fingers

Gently rub your fingertips together to warm the oil before application.

4

Apply by Gently Patting or Massaging

Gently pat onto the eye area, or massage in circular motions over the rest of the face until fully absorbed.

Naturel Argania Tip

Because this oil is rare and highly concentrated, one to two drops are more than enough for the entire face — there is no need to apply more, as its rich texture is effective even in small amounts.

Why Is Prickly Pear Seed Oil So Expensive?

Its rarity explains its price: approximately 1,000 kg of prickly pear fruit are needed to produce just one litre of oil, with an oil yield of around 5% per seed.

How Can You Tell If Prickly Pear Seed Oil Is Authentic?

Authentic prickly pear seed oil is 100% pure, with no added plant oils, and comes from a supplier that is transparent about its Moroccan origin. Be cautious of unusually low prices, as they may indicate dilution.

Does Prickly Pear Seed Oil Help Reduce the Appearance of Wrinkles?

Thanks to its high vitamin E and omega-6 content, it fits naturally into anti-aging skincare routines aimed at maintaining the skin’s firm and supple appearance, without guaranteeing specific results on wrinkles.

Does This Oil Help with Acne?

We cannot claim that it treats acne. For skin concerns of this kind, we recommend consulting a healthcare professional. However, it is valued for its general moisturizing properties.

Can This Oil Be Used Around the Eyes?

Yes, it is traditionally used on this delicate area to help promote a feeling of comfort and a more rested-looking appearance.

How Much Should You Use Per Application?

Thanks to its concentrated texture, 1 to 2 drops are more than enough for the entire face.

What Is the Difference Between Prickly Pear Seed Oil and Argan Oil?

The two oils complement each other: prickly pear seed oil is rarer and more concentrated, while argan oil is more versatile for daily use on the face, body and hair. They can be used together.
