Byron Bay (Free Spirit) Love Oils Organic Prickly Pear Seed Oil 30ml
Love Prickly Pear seed oil is the rarest, most expensive and highly prized beauty oil in the world. The Prickly Pear cactus grows wild in various arid and semi-arid areas of the world. It has been called “the miracle plant” for its ability to survive long periods of draught and still produce healthy fruits. The tiny hard seeds are found in the bulbous fruit called the “tuna” and are manually separated from the pulp and washed carefully before gently cold pressing to extract the precious oil. This highly time consuming and tedious task is undertaken by indigenous Berber women working in cooperatives in Morocco. It takes about 1 million seeds (each seed only contains 5% oil) and 36 hours of labour to separate enough seeds to produce just 1 litre of this precious oil. Harvesting the tunas empowers local communities by contributing to their livelihood, and delivering sustainable income for the Berber women. Love Prickly Pear seed oil is true to nature, unaltered and organic certified by Ecocert, SA
