It keeps cropping up in facial serums and moisturizers, and I have made many a mental note to do some research on this oil.<\/p>\n<p>Guess what\u2026prickly pear seed oil goes by another name. Barbary fig seed oil. Same thing. You know the little bud-like pods that grow on a prickly pear cactus? Ya, those. These seeds are cold pressed to extract the oil, which is then used in cosmetics.<\/p>\n<p>La Bella Figura came out with Barbary Fig Renewal Serum a few years ago, and I remember <a href=\"https:\/\/feelgoodstyle.com\/2012\/11\/16\/product-review-la-bella-figura\/\">trying it out<\/a> and loving it. But didn\u2019t realize back then that it was oil from the prickly pear. This oil is a wonder drug for skin. It is higher in Vitamin E than argan oil, so great for healing and softening the skin. Barbary, or Prickly Pear, oil is also high in antioxidants, which fight free radicals, and prevent inflammation and support cell renewal. So, the perfect anti-ager.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s list some fabulous organic skincare products that contain prickly pear:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.siabotanics.com\/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=ppdm\" target=\"_blank\">Sia Botanicals Prickly Pear Daily Moisturizer<\/a> (also available at Target stores)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/labellafigurabeauty.com\/products\/organic-barbary-fig-seed-oil\" target=\"_blank\">La Bella Figura Organic Barbary Fig Seed Oil<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/munskin.com\/collections\/frontpage#top\" target=\"_blank\">MUN No.1 Aknari &#8211; Brightening Youth Serum<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.spiritbeautylounge.com\/yuli-me-skin-fuel.html\" target=\"_blank\">YULI M.E.
