Frequently asked

How often should I be using prickly pear seed oil?

Prickly pear seed oil is a versatile and gentle natural product, suitable for daily use. However, the frequency of application can depend on your skin type and personal skincare needs.

For most skin types, using prickly pear seed oil once or twice a day is ideal. If your skin is particularly dry or mature, you might benefit from applying it both in the morning and at night. In the morning, it can help protect and hydrate your skin throughout the day, while evening application can aid in the skin's natural repair process during sleep.

If you have oily or combination skin, you might prefer to use it only once a day, preferably in the evening. This allows the oil to work overnight without interfering with your daytime skincare or makeup routine.

Remember, a little goes a long way! You only need a few drops of prickly pear seed oil for each application. After cleansing and toning, gently massage the oil into your skin until absorbed.

As always, listen to your skin. If you experience any sensitivity or adverse reactions, adjust the frequency of use accordingly. It's also a good idea to perform a patch test before incorporating any new product into your skincare routine regularly.

How do I use prickly pear oil in my hair?
  1. As a Pre-Shampoo Treatment: Apply prickly pear oil to your dry hair before shampooing. Massage it into your scalp and work it through the lengths of your hair. Leave it on for at least 15 minutes or even overnight for deeper saturation. Then, wash your hair as usual. This method is particularly beneficial for those with dry, brittle, or damaged hair as it provides hydration.
  2. Post-Wash Serum: After washing and towel-drying your hair, take a few drops of prickly pear oil and rub it between your palms. Gently apply it to the ends of your hair. This helps in detangling and adds a beautiful shine to your hair without making it greasy.
  3. Scalp Treatment: If you have a dry scalp, try moisturizing with prickly pear oil. Massage a small amount of oil directly into your scalp before bed.
  4. Styling Agent: Prickly pear oil can be used as a styling product to tame frizz and add shine. Apply a small amount to your hair to smooth down flyaways and keep your hairstyle looking sleek and polished.
  5. Hair Mask Additive: Enhance your regular hair mask by adding a few drops of prickly pear oil. Apply the mixture to your hair, leave it on for the recommended time, and then rinse off. This boosts the mask's hydrating and moisturizing properties.

Remember, a little goes a long way! Start with a small amount and increase as needed based on your hair type and length. Regular use of prickly pear oil can lead to softer, shinier, and healthier-looking hair over time.

How can I tell which prickly pear seed oil is authentic?

Truly authentic prickly pear seed oil should have the following attributes: 1. Golden color. Oil that is clear, green, or any other color is not pure oil from the prickly pear cactus seed. 2. A slightly nutty natural scent. Since this oil is unrefined for maximum benefits, it does have a slight scent which many find appealing. Any oil with a "fragrance" is not pure, authentic prickly pear seed oil. 3.Heavy/greasy feeling. Prickly pear seed oil is not heavy or greasy like many other carrier oils. It should be fast absorbing, leaving a dewey finish.

Does prickly pear oil expire?

Yes, because there are no preservatives, prickly pear seed oil does expire after 2 years.

Do I need to store this oil any special way?

Yes, like most oils, they can be effected by sunlight or high temperatures. We recommend storing in a room temperature area away from sunlight.
