The oil, extracted from the seeds and blades of prickly pear, has excellent antioxidant, purifying, soothing and anti-inflammatory properties: it is perfect for restoring the natural beauty of the skin and hair, put to the test by the stress always lurking, from swimming in the pool or from a prolonged exposure to the sun’s rays. Because it is very delicate, it is also suitable for daily use.
GENERAL INFO, HISTORICAL BACKGROUND, FUN FACT
