Product Details

Botanical Name: Opuntia ficus indica

Plant Part: Seeds

Origin: Morocco

Extraction Method:  Cold Pressed

Processing Type: Unrefined

Color / Consistency:  A slightly viscous, pale yellow to yellow liquid

Description: This unrefined oil has been cold pressed from the seeds. Also known as Barbery Fig, it has been used as a remedial beauty oil by Berber women for many centuries. It is felt by many to have benefits that are greatly superior to those offered by Argan Oil. High in omega-6 fatty acids and naturally occurring carotenoids, Vitamins C and E, and flavonoids, this skin-toning oil contains powerful antioxidants that also offer it a longer shelf life.

Aromatic Description / Scent: Almost odour free.

Common Uses: Personal-care products and cosmetics, especially skin care for mature complexions.

Absorption: This oil has a very good absorption rate and leaves the skin feeling silky and hydrated without an oily feeling

Shelf Life: Slow to go rancid, when the oil is kept closed at a temperature below 18°C and away from light. Users can expect a shelf life of up to 2 years with proper storage conditions (cool, out of direct sunlight). Refrigeration after opening is recommended. Please refer to the Certificate of Analysis for current Best Before Date.

Cautions: None known. 

Storage: It is recommended that cold-pressed carrier oils be kept in a cool, dark place to maintain freshness and achieve maximum shelf life. If refrigerated, bring to room temperature before using.
