Extracted from the Prickly Pear Cactus, this botanical wonder is native to the Americas and fantastic for all skin types, particularly if your skin is sensitive. Of the species O.ficus-indica, this plant has a number of antioxidants, including potent Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), which means that it wards off free radicals and interrupts the process of oxidation (remember: oxidation is what causes metal to rust and what makes your skin age).
Prickly Pear Extract also boasts Linoleic acid, an essential fatty acid that reduces water loss in your skin’s cells and helps to maintain the visible integrity of your complexion’s outermost layer. In addition, Vitamin E boosts the repair process, leaving your looking as healthy – and beautiful – as possible.
