2. Akhal Prickly Pear Seed Oil 15ml

This little bottle of oil hails from the Moroccan Prickly Pear Plant, where the seeds are squeezed to produce the oil. This oil has traditionally been used by European women as a potent antioxidant beauty oil. In fact Prickly Pear Seed Oil is one of the most expensive beauty oils in the world, it contains the most Vitamin E of any beauty oil on the market (150 % more than Argan Oil), and the highest percentage of unsaturated fatty acids (88 %) – making it an incredibly powerful oil for skin health! Due to the high antioxidant properties of this oil it has the ability to stimulate cell renewal, leaving you with fresh, new skin. Let’s not forget that the high fatty acid content plumps the skin, reducing wrinkles and adding firmness, as well as intercepting free radical damage. Prickly Pear Seed Oil can also help to soothe, reduce redness and hyper-pigmentation as it is also an anti-inflammatory. Applying this to your skin daily regime, will put you in the front line of defence to help combat the signs of ageing, as they say ‘prevention is better than a cure’!
