Akermus: Prickly pear seed oil is derived from the seeds of the fruit that grows on the prickly pear cactus (Opuntia ficus-indica), a tropical and subtropical cactus able to grow in arid climates. Not to be confused with prickly pear oil which is extracted from the pulp or skin of the fruit and does not have any topical benefits for the skin.

The ancestral oil is receiving an ever-increasing attention from researchers worldwide for its multivalent pharmaceutical and cosmetic potential. Its scientifically proven skin wound-healing and repairing effects are due to its extremely high amounts of vitamin E (more than any other oil on the market), fatty acids (mainly omega-3) and vitamin K. It acts as a powerful antioxidant, protecting the skin from premature aging, preventing wrinkles and tightening the skin. Akermus facial oil also soothes inflammation, brightens under-eye circles and stimulates collagen production. You can count on a fast absorption and fresh-faced glow to your skin after application.
