Prickly Pear Seed Oil - 1.13 fl oz / 32 ml 100% Pure Authentic Moroccan Opuntia Ficus Indica Seed Oil Authentic, Pure Moroccan Cactus Seed Oil from the original source. Pure cactus seed oil originally came from Morocco where they are known for their purity and wonderful benefits for the skin. This is our authentic Moroccan cactus seed oil made using a traditional process and cold-pressed from cactus seeds only. Since Prickly Pear Cactus seeds contain less than 5% of oil this means over 30 Kg of seeds are needed to make just 1 litre of pure oil. It takes 1000 kilos of fruit to extract enough seeds to make just 1 litre of oil! This is why a genuine cactus seed oil is one of the most expensive oils in the world. How to Tell Genuine Cactus Seed Oil Cactus seed oil is a natural product and so the colour and smell do vary. But a truly genuine oil is light/medium to green in colour and has a sweet cactus seed, melon-like, smell of fruit, flowers and honey. However, Cactus Seed Oil is a totally natural product and seeds from dry parts of Morocco or seeds harvested at different times of the year can produce variations in the qualities of the oil. At some times the colour can be a darker green and the fragrance may be stronger. Check out our product detail pictures to see the correct colours for a genuine, pure cactus seed oil and a typical nutrient analysis. Tip: There are also a number of varieties of cactus that can be called "Prickly Pear". The original Moroccan oil is made from "Opuntia Ficus Indica". Other "Prickly Pears", such as Opuntia Stratia, yield a lighter more yellow oil with nearly no scent. How to Use Prickly Pear Seed Oil We sell pure oil from cold-pressed seeds in 1.13 oz / 32ml bottles and 0.34 oz / 10ml bottles. 3 to 6 drops will normally be enough to treat the face area and target smaller areas of skin, hair and nails that require more intensive therapy.
