The Prickly Pear, also called Opuntia Ficus Indica , is a cactus with amazing properties. Its thorny branches hide a treasure trove of moisture: the pulp of the Prickly Pear.
Adapted to survive in arid environments, the blades of this spectacular plant, sometimes several meters high, are extremely rich in water and sugars, perfect allies for hydration.
Protected by thick thorns, the pulp of the prickly pear preserves an incredible reservoir of nutrients: complex carbohydrates containing pectins and polysaccharides.
This jelly locks in water and nutrients to deliver them gradually to your skin, ensuring long-lasting protection and hydration.
Its exceptional ability to retain water and provide immediate hydration gives the pulp of the Prickly Pear the same moisturizing power as hyaluronic acid, with the added benefit of regenerative, protective, healing and anti-irritation properties for the epidermis. This treasure of the desert is the ally of irritated and sensitive skin thanks to the richness of its composition and its ability to form a protective barrier against external aggressions.
Unlike hyaluronic acid, prickly pear pulp is a pure natural active ingredient, meaning it is not derived from biotechnology. It is 100% natural, vegan, and upcycled, since the jelly from the leaves is recovered during the harvest of prickly pears, the edible fruits of the Opuntia plant.
