Organic Virgin Prickly Pear Seed Oil

Organic Virgin Prickly Pear Seed Oil is also known as Organic Virgin Nopal Oil.

Native to Mexico, Opuntia ficus indica, more commonly known as the Prickly Pear, is a nopal cactus with colorful, edible fruits that house highly nutritious seeds. In many cultures, the fruit, seeds and nopals (pads) are consumed for their medicinal benefits and as a nutritious, seasonal treat.

Our Organic Virgin Prickly Pear Seed Oil is a beautifully versatile, light and functional lipid that features an impressive composition of linolenic acid, a polyunsaturated omega-6 essential fatty acid.

It is carefully sourced and packaged to maintain the purity, freshness and beneficial properties of this remarkably nutritive, cold pressed oil. As with all of our organic ingredients, it is certified organic by CCOF.

Ethical and Sustainable Sourcing:

The organic prickly pear cactus fruits that are used to produce our Organic Virgin Prickly Pear Seed Oil are harvested by specialized locals on privately owned land. Our manufacturing partner ensures that proper permission from the Mexican government has been obtained.
