100% Pure Prickly Pear Seed Oil - Victoria Health by Garden of Wisdom
Garden of Wisdom for Victoria-Health 100% Pure Prickly Pear Seed Oil is also known as Cactus Oil or Barbary Fig Seed Oil, is an excellent multi-purpose face oil with superb moisturizing properties.
Like Argan Oil, Prickly Pear Seed Oil is native to Morocco as well as India but unlike Argan Oil, Prickly Pear Oil has the richest source of vitamin E and is full of essential fatty acids as well as antioxidants and polyphenols.
Benefits of 100% Pure Prickly Pear Seed Oil:
- Contains super antioxidants which protect skin against ageing due to damaging radicals
- A rich blend of omega 6 and 9 essential fatty acids helps replenish lipids to restore skin elasticity
- Essential fatty acids help to calm down inflammation making it ideal for rosacea-prone skin
- Its Vitamin K content helps to brighten age spots and hyperpigmentation areas
- May improve sebum texture preventing acne
- Superb for dull, lack-luster hair
- Strengthens nails making them less prone to breakage
- Cold pressed and gently refined
Shelf Life and Storage Information for Our Products and Ingredients
Finished Products - generally don't need to be refrigerated as they are preserved, but you can refrigerate them to extend their shelf life. The shelf life for most products is 9-12 months. Vitamin C Serum(s) and VitaResurface products should continually be refrigerated to extend their shelf life.
Sample Sizes - do have a shorter shelf life (generally 3-6 months), and items in jars can dry up quicker than this if the lid is not tightened well enough (Vitamin C Serums - use within 90 days).
Please keep your products out of humidity, heat, direct light and in a dark cabinet when possible:Exfoliating Acid - products have a shelf life of 9-12 months. The only things we don't suggest refrigerating are the Mandelic Acid Serums or Salicylic Acid Serums, as they can crystallize in the refrigerator. If this happens, you can set the product into a hot water bath to see if the crystals will dissolve.
Additional Items That Require Refrigeration and/or Kept in the Dark:Hydrosols and Distillates - remove 1 ounce of hydrosol and add it into a separate,sterilized spray bottle and spritzer. Keep the larger bottle in the refrigerator.
Carrier and Exotic Oils - generally, you can refrigerate all carrier oils, although some very rich oils will solidify. This is fine. All you have to do is take it out, warm it up at room temperature and it should liquefy. If not, set the bottle in a hot water bath and occasionally shake the bottle, which will hopefully turn into a liquid. There are some oils with a super long shelf life, like Coconut Cream and Jojoba Oil.
Refrigeration is not necessary, but it surely won't hurt:Essential Oils - essential oils are best stored in a cool, dark place.
Co2 Extracts - these should continually be refrigerated.
Butters - we suggest refrigerating our "skincare" butters. You can remove
what you need and keep the rest in the fridge.
Clays - keep in a dry, dark place. Shelf life is at least 2 years.
Herbs - all herbs (whole or ground) should be kept in a dark, cool and dry location.
Herbal (liquid) Extracts - these are created using alcohol. The alcohol pulls the constituents (properties) from each herbs - root, trunk, leaves, and flowers. They have a shelf life of 3-5 years. They can be kept in the refrigerator or a dark place.
Other Raw Ingredients - i.e., Sodium PCA, Honeyquat, Oat Beta Glucan, etc.
will all have a different shelf life.
This is my first time using prickly pear oil. A very lux oil and definitely worth the buy. My face love this oil. I use it to make a facial oil for my mature skin. Is it possible for GOW to sell a bigger size?
So happy you are loving this oil! We have reached out to you about the bigger size :)
Please reach out with any questions! Call or email us and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
