LIVING-OIL CACTUS 30mL
A rare oil from the prickly pear cactus.
For skin that feels soft, hydrated and supple.
Prickly pear cactus oil is sometimes called a “rare oil”. It comes from a cactus that grows in the dry, harsh climate of the Moroccan desert, where temperatures are high and water is scarce. Even in these harsh conditions, the cactus can hold onto the moisture it needs. This is part of what makes the oil so valuable.
The fruit grows just once a year, and only a small amount of oil can be pressed from its seeds. What you get is an oil rich in vitamin E and linoleic acid, along with the natural components that help the skin hold on to moisture.
LIVING-OIL CACTUS feels light and silky on the skin. It sinks in quickly, leaving skin feeling soft, hydrated and supple without a heavy or greasy finish.
It contains higher concentrations of vitamin E and linoleic acid than argan and olive oils, making it a simple way to give dry skin a little extra care.

A sweet, soft and calming fragrance of osmanthus.
1. Warm an appropriate amount of oil (about half a dropper) in the palm of your hand, then gently blend it into your entire face, working from the center outward.
2. Apply an extra layer to areas of concern, such as dry spots.
3. When used as a booster after cleansing, followed by toner, your skin will feel softer, and you’ll notice a difference in the effectiveness of your subsequent skincare routine.
4. During dry winter months, you can also use it as a finishing oil after applying cream.
*If you have particularly dry skin, we recommend using both the oil and cream in two separate steps.
*Gently massage the oil into areas of the body where you experience puffiness or other concerns. It is more effective when used after warming up your body or warming the oil to body temperature.
