Prickly pear seed Oil Naturosources

Prickly pear seed oil offers a very high amount of essential fatty acids in natural compound. It contains more than 83% of unsaturated fatty acid with more than 58% of linoleic acid (Omega 6).
Prickly pear seed oil is also very rich in Vitamine E (tocopherols). Tocopherols are responsible for the impressive effectiveness of prickly pear seed oil as natural antioxidant. It is particularly those compounds which are in charge of protecting all valuable unsaturated fatty acids against the destruction by free radicals. By using prickly pear seed oil a natural barrier for the most important cells of the immune system is created, which originates
from intercepting the free radicals. For that reason, tocopherols are called radical scavengers.
Thus, evermore cosmetics manufacturers, and pharmaceutical manufacturers have recognized the
effect of the prickly pear seed oil and successfully use it in their anti-wrinkles products.
