Prickly pear, also known as cactus pear, has a very high content of vitamin E, amino acids, antioxidants, and omega fatty acids. It combats dryness and helps the skin retain its natural oils.
The oil has exceptionally good water-binding properties and protects the skin from oxidative stress. Due to its firming properties, some consider it an alternative to Botox. It strengthens the skin's natural UV protection, absorbs quickly, and leaves the skin soft and supple.
