Frequently Asked Questions About Prickly Pear Oil

Is Prickly Pear Oil good for acne-prone skin?

Yes. It is non-comedogenic, meaning it will not clog pores. Its high concentration of linoleic acid helps balance oil production and soothe inflammation associated with breakouts.

What is the difference between Prickly Pear Seed Oil and a macerated version?

Prickly Pear Seed Oil is the pure, cold-pressed oil from cactus seeds. Macerated oil involves soaking flowers or fruit in another carrier oil, resulting in a less concentrated product with different properties. Learn more on our Blog.

With proper storage in a cool, dark place, Certified Organic Prickly Pear Oil typically has a shelf life of up to 2 years.
