Raw Unrefined Extra Virgin 100% Pure Certified Organic Prickly Pear Seed Oil - Cactus Seed Oil
More than often one can find Prickly Pear Oil that is made either by infusion: the fruit is infused in soy, sunflower oil, or the oil is made by maceration - where the whole fruit is pressed resulting in a low quality, cheaper version of the SEED oil. Our Raw, Unrefined, Pure Certified Organic Prickly Pear Seed Oil is cold pressed only from the seeds with its full therapeutic properties. Also known as Cactus seed Oil, Barbary fig oil, Indian fig oil, Prickly pear seeds contain only 5% of oil. Our Cactus Seeds oil is extracted during a very time-consuming and laborious procedure taking around 36 hours of manual labor, manually handled by Moroccan women at cooperatives, and 470 kg prickly pears are needed to yield 32oz oil. The seeds are separated from the pulp of a washed, air-dried under sunbeams and stored in a cool and dry place to be pressed only on demand to guarantee a fresh high quality oil.
