INCI: Opuntia ficus-indica seed oil

Essentially Natural Prickly Pear Seed Oil - Cold Pressed is a lightweight botanical oil pressed from the seeds of Opuntia ficus-indica. It is known for a silky feel and fast absorption, making it popular in facial oils and serums where a non-greasy finish is preferred. This oil is often chosen for sensitive and dry-feeling skin routines because it feels gentle and comfortable on skin. It is recommended for cosmetic use only as it has not undergone food-grade certification.
