Benefits of prickly pear for the skin

The flowers of the prickly pear cactus are rich in flavonoids, quercetin, minerals (potassium, calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron), vitamin C, malic acid, oxalic acid, pectic acid, tannins, cellulose, albumin, and water.

Anti-ageing and antioxidant: Prickly pear fights against skin ageing, prevents the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, and stimulates cell renewal thanks to its high content of vitamin E and sterols, which are powerful antioxidants.
Repairing and restructuring: It repairs and heals the skin, reduces pigmentation spots, scars, and stretch marks, and soothes irritations and inflammations due to its phytosterols, polyphenols, and linoleic acid content.
Hydrating: Prickly pear deeply nourishes and softens the skin with its richness in essential fatty acids.

Benefits of prickly pear for the hair

Hydrates and nourishes: Perfect for dry and damaged hair, thanks to its unsaturated fatty acids and vitamin E.
Regenerates and protects: Shields hair from ageing with its antioxidants and phytosterols.
Soothes and calms: Reduces irritation, redness, and inflammation of the scalp due to its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties.

Indications for prickly pear

This oil is highly recommended for wrinkles, fine lines on mature and tired skin, bust care, scars, stretch marks, and as an after-sun treatment.

Benefits of argan oil for the skin

Scar Reduction: Argan oil supports wound healing and promotes cell regeneration, helping to minimise the appearance of scars.
Antioxidant: With natural anti-radical compounds like tocopherols (vitamin E), squalene, and carotenoids, argan oil is a powerful anti-ageing remedy. It effectively combats dryness and signs of ageing while preventing stretch marks during pregnancy.
Softening: Similar to the skin’s natural lipids, argan oil penetrates quickly for deep hydration and nourishment. Omega-3, 6, and 9 contribute to restoring skin elasticity, while schottenol, a sterol found in the oil, adds further softening properties.
Anti-ageing: Linoleic acid helps the skin regain its firmness and elasticity, making argan oil a cornerstone for combating premature ageing and wrinkles.
Nourishing: Argan oil hydrates deeply, making it ideal for flaky or dry skin, damaged hair, and brittle nails. It nourishes the skin while repairing the hydrolipidic film, which acts as a barrier to minimise water loss.
Penetrating: Rich in linoleic acid, argan oil is easily absorbed into the skin for quick and efficient hydration.

FAQ

Can argan oil help with rosacea?

Although argan oil is rich, it is non-comedogenic and very well tolerated by sensitive skin. It contains vitamin E and antioxidants that protect and repair the skin, while reducing inflammation. Used regularly, it can help calm the symptoms of rosacea, such as dryness and tightness, while strengthening skin's suppleness.

What are the benefits of prickly pear flower?

Prickly pear flower is rich in flavols, flavones, and phenolic acids, particularly gallic acid, a powerful antioxidant. It helps prevent skin aging, soothes sensitive skin, reduces dark spots, and evens out skin tone. It also provides natural protection against external aggressions.

What are the benefits of argan oil for the skin?

Argan oil is renowned for its moisturizing, nourishing, and regenerative properties. Rich in vitamin E and essential fatty acids, it helps restore the skin's hydrolipidic film, prevent skin aging, and improve elasticity. It is particularly beneficial for dry, sensitive, or mature skin.

How do I apply my oil to the skin?

Place 3 to 5 drops in the palm of your hand, then gently massage into the face, body and/or hair, avoiding contact with the eyes. The precious oil can be used every day, morning or evening, as you wish.

Morning routine

Apply every morning after cleansing the face and body, preferably before applying cream, to allow the skin to absorb the treatment.

Night routine

Apply every evening after cleansing the face and body, just before going to bed, so that the active ingredients penetrate throughout the night as the skin regenerates.

Further information: How do I apply oil correctly to the skin?

How do I determine my skin type?

To determine your skin type, follow these steps.

Prepare your skin

Start by removing your make-up completely and washing your face with a gentle cleanser. By the way, did you know that jojoba oil is a great 100% natural make-up remover that takes care of your skin at the same time? Next, wait an hour without applying any products to your skin.

Examine your skin

After an hour, dab your T-zone (forehead and nose) with a tissue. If sebum has been transferred to the tissue, your skin is either oily or combination. Also, find out how you feel. If your skin feels tight after washing, it's probably dry. If it feels refreshed, it's probably oily.

Don't hesitate to use our online diagnosis to find out which product is best for you.

Skin types

Here are the four different skin types:

Normal skin

It produces just the right amount of sebum to stay hydrated, protected and comfortable without shine.

Dry skin

It is desperately short of sebum, tight, uncomfortable and flaky.

Oily skin

It tends to be shiny all over the face. It is generally thicker, with dilated pores and irregular skin texture.

Mixed skin

It is often rather oily on the T-zone (where the sebaceous glands are most numerous) while the cheeks are dry and tight.

It is important to note that the condition of the skin can vary according to external factors such as climate, diet, stress, etc. It is therefore advisable to re-evaluate your skin type regularly to adapt your skincare routine. It is therefore advisable to regularly re-evaluate your skin type to adapt your skincare routine.

Can oil be used on oily skin?

Yes, you can use an oil on oily skin, as long as you choose the right oil. Contrary to popular belief, some oils are capable of regulating sebum production and restoring the complex balance of your epidermis.

Here are some plant oils recommended for oily skin:

Jojoba oil: Similar to the sebum produced by the body, this oil is highly prized by our skin and helps to rebalance sebum production.
Black cumin oil: Antibacterial, black cumin oil effectively eliminates skin imperfections.
Hemp oil: Deeply moisturises the skin without leaving a greasy finish.

It's important to note that even if oily skin doesn't need to be nourished, hydration is essential. Poor hydration could encourage the epidermis to produce even more sebum in order to hydrate itself, aggravating the vicious circle of oily skin. So it's essential to work directly on the skin with the right skincare products.

Which plant oils for which skin type?

Choose a plant oil according to your skin type for double effectiveness. There are a huge number of different oils, all of which have their own properties and are therefore adapted to specific skin types and problems.

Oily skin

The best oils for oily skin are jojoba oil, black cumin oil, hemp oil and L'Huile Précieuse.

Mixed skin

The ideal plant oils for combination skin should be gentle and non-greasy, regulating and balancing. The best plant oils for combination skin are jojoba oil, black cumin oil, hemp oil, argan oil, macadamia oil and L'Huile Précieuse.

Dry skin

Plant oils for dry skin should have nourishing, protective, softening, anti-inflammatory and emollient properties. The vegetable oils most commonly used are argan oil, jojoba oil, macadamia oil, prickly pear oil and L'Huile Précieuse.

What properties do plant oils have for the skin?

Skin oils are natural products that can have many benefits, depending on their composition and how they are used.

Vegetable oils are extracted from plants, fruit, seeds or nuts. They are rich in fatty acids, vitamins and antioxidants. They can nourish, moisturise, protect, regulate, heal and soften the skin. They are suitable for all skin types, but you need to choose the one that best suits your needs and sensitivities. Jojoba oil is ideal for all skin types, including oily skin, because its light, penetrating texture protects the dermis. Argan oil is recommended for dry and mature skin, because it has nourishing, regenerating and anti-ageing properties, while hempseed oil is better suited to oily skin.

How do I store my oil?

Store at room temperature, out of sight and reach of children, in a dry place protected from UV rays and light.
Avoid severe thermal shock.

What is argan oil and how is it made?

Argan oil is a vegetable oil extracted from the kernels of the argan tree (Argania spinosa), a tree endemic to southwest Morocco. Argan oil production is a traditional process carried out primarily by women's cooperatives. The fruits are harvested, dried, then the kernels are extracted, roasted (for edible oil) or not (for cosmetic oil), and finally cold-pressed to obtain a pure and precious oil.

Is argan oil good for curly hair?

Argan oil deeply nourishes and regenerates hair from root to tip. It strengthens the hair fiber, restores shine and suppleness, and helps structure curls in wavy, curly, or frizzy hair. Applied as a mask or leave-in treatment, it also protects color-treated or damaged hair.
