Prickly Pear's
also called Opuntia ficus indica, may very well be the next SUPERFOOD (Bonnie et al., 2021.) Its nutritional composition[1] is that rich. A succulent of the cactaceae family, grows wild mostly in arid regions of the world, particularly, the Mediterranean. (Silva et al., 2021.) Its precious seed oil is extracted by cold press, and according to recent research, Prickly pear seed oil is antimicrobial, and it has anti-inflammatory properties derived from a unique biologic composition rich in vitamins, minerals, and bioactive compounds. (Bardaa et al., 2020.) These include a high content of precious polyphenols, (Koubaa et al., 2016) vitamin E, fatty acids, sterols, phenolics and flavonoids, which makes it a natural antioxidant.
Prickly Pear is ideal for dry, “crepey” skin due to the presence of linoleic acid[6], as it helps to maintain moisture, visibly improving the dry look, and giving the skin the appearance of elasticity and suppleness minimizing the fine lines. Its antibacterial properties, make it favorable for acne prone skin, leading to a well-balanced skin care barrier. (Ramadan & Mörsel, 2003.)
