PRICKLY PEAR SEED OIL

In the heart of nature lies a jewel, ready to revitalize and refresh your beauty routine. Let me introduce you to Exotic Prickly pear seed oil, a powerfulelixir derived from the fragrant, lemony leaves of the Prickly plant. Let’s embark on a journey to discover the countless benefits, versatile applications and spellbinding tales of this remarkable elixir.

THE HISTORY

Prickly pear seed oil, also known as cactus oil or barbary fig oil, is a natural treasure with numerous benefits. Extracted from the seeds of the prickly pear fruit (Opuntia ficusindica), this precious oil is renowned for its exceptional cosmetic and medicinal properties. Its rich and fascinating history spans centuries and highlights its  significance in various cultures around the world.

The prickly pear cactus is native to Mexico, where it was cultivated and used by preColumbian civilizations, especially the Aztecs. The Aztecs were already utilizing the fruits and seeds of the prickly pear for their medicinal and nutritional benefits. With the arrival of Spanish explorers in the 16th century, this plant was introduced to Europe and Mediterranean regions, where it quickly adapted to the favorable climate.

Over the centuries, the prickly pear cactus spread across the arid and semi-arid regions of the Mediterranean basin, North Africa, the Middle East, and even India. In these regions, it became a valuable resource not only for its delicious fruits but also for its medicinal and cosmetic properties. Local populations quickly discovered the benefits of the oil extracted from prickly pear seeds, using it to treat various skin ailments, hydrate, and protect the skin from the sun.

HOW WE MAKE PRICKLY PEAR SEED OIL

      The traditional production of prickly pear seed oil is a laborintensive and demanding process that involves several meticulous stepse. First, the prickly pear fruits are carefully hand-picked from the cactus pads, typically during the late summer months when the fruits are fully ripe. Once harvested, the fruits are sliced open to separate the pulp from the seeds, a process that can be done manually or with specialized tools to ensure the seeds remain intact.

the extracted seeds are then spread out in a thin layer and left to dry naturally under the sun for several days to reduce moisture content, prevent mold growth, and ensure a higher yield of oil. After drying, the seeds are cold-pressed using mechanical presses without applying heat, preserving the oil’s nutritional and cosmetic properties. The freshly pressed oil is then filtered to remove any remaining seed particles or impurities, resulting in a pure, golden-colored oil.

Finally, the filtered oil is carefully poured into dark glass bottles to protect it from  light and stored in a cool, dark place, such as a cellar or refrigerator, to maintain its freshness, potency, and shelf life.
