Barbary fig seed oil (aka prickly pear seed), certified organic
Barbary fig seed oil (prickly pear seed), certified organic
A rare and highly prized botanical oil, certified organic Barbary fig seed oil (also known as prickly pear seed oil) is cold pressed from the seeds of the Opuntia ficus-indica cactus. Naturally rich in linoleic acid and exceptionally high in vitamin E, this lightweight oil is celebrated for its silky skin feel, fast absorption, and versatility in skincare and haircare formulations.
With its elegant texture and nutrient-dense profile, it is commonly used in premium facial serums, hair oils, and restorative creams. Although often blended with complementary carrier oils, Barbary fig seed oil also shines as a standalone facial oil.
Skincare benefits
- Barbary fig seed oil is frequently included in modern skincare for its:
- Lightweight, fast-absorbing texture that leaves no oily residue.
- High linoleic acid content, which is said to support a smooth, refined complexion.
- Naturally occurring vitamin E, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids, often used to promote soft-feeling, supple skin.
- Broad suitability across most skin types, particularly those that prefer a light, non-greasy facial oil.
Haircare uses
- Commonly incorporated into hair oils and treatments to help condition dry or coarse hair.
- Said to support scalp hydration and improve overall hair manageability.
- Favoured for adding softness and a light natural sheen without weight.
How to use
Dispense a small amount into the palm of the hand and massage gently into the face, neck, and décolletage.
For haircare, apply sparingly to mid-lengths and ends or smooth lightly over the scalp as desired.
5ml, 10ml, and 20ml sizes include open-pour caps. Dropper caps can be purchased separately in our Bottles section for those using it as a facial serum.
