It takes a million seeds and several days of cold pressing to make 1 liter (4 cups) of this scent-free, super sustainable oil from Morocco. Rich in natural cactus compounds, vital vitamins C and E, antioxidants, and lovely polyunsaturated fatty acids, Prickly Pear Carrier Oil soothes arid and irritated skin and softens scars. It sutures and pacifies skin that has been overexposed to the elements or simply exposed to the years. It is as hydrating and refreshing as an oasis in the desert, and it absorbs smoothly so skin is soft and supple.
This luxurious oil is practically scent-free, which makes it an ideal for the super-scent-sensitive and for perfume mix-masters who want to create long-lasting perfumed potions for the skin and hair.
