Why is prickly pear cactus seed oil special?
Cactus seed oil is extracted from the tiny black seeds of the prickly pear (Opuntia) cactus. Producing one litre of oil requires approximately one tonne of fruit, which is why this oil is one of the world's most expensive and most valuable natural beauty products. The Najel organic certified product is cold-pressed, so all valuable active ingredients are preserved. You gain access to a rare, premium care that delivers visible results particularly on mature, fading skin.
Active ingredients of cactus seed oil
The oil has an extremely high linoleic acid content, exceeding 60%, which is an essential fatty acid for restoring skin structure. Its vitamin E content is almost twice that of argan oil, providing strong antioxidant protection. It also contains sterols and vitamin K, which help lighten dark circles and firm the skin.
Whom do we recommend it for most?
You particularly benefit from this oil if you want deep hydration and regeneration on mature (40+) skin, if you have extensive fine wrinkles around the eyes or on the face, if dark circles bother you, or if you have sensitive, reactive skin. It can also be applied to fine, weakened hair as a strengthening oil.
How to use it?
After evening cleansing, warm 2-3 drops between your palms, then gently massage into face and neck. Particularly suitable for the eye area: apply with tapping movements. Before morning application, allow a few minutes absorption time before applying makeup.
Storage and shelf life
Store in a dark bottle, in a cool place, protected from direct sunlight. After opening, it can be used optimally for 6-12 months. The oil has a mild, natural seedy scent, which is a sign of purity and does not affect quality.
