VITAMIN E
VITAMIN E
The star of the ingredient line-up is vitamin E – the key to make your skin soft and supple. Vitamin E is an essential weapon in your skincare routine to fight off free radicals and promote skin regeneration. And prickly pear seed oil contains the highest amount of vitamin E of all skincare oils – 150% more than that of Argan oil! So you can be sure Balsem Prickly Pear Seed Oil is the perfect antidote for dry, mature, or sensitive skin types.
VITAMIN K
VITAMIN K
Studies show vitamin K (also known as phytonadione) is a necessary ingredient to protect collagen in the body. As we get older our collagen levels naturally decrease. This is where vitamin K comes in, boosting collagen levels. The result is younger-looking skin that’s plump and smooth. Vitamin K can also help treat wounds and calm inflammation.
FATTY ACIDS
FATTY ACIDS
Prickly pear seed oil is extremely rich in fatty acids. It contains 55-65% linoleic acid (an omega-6 fatty acid) which is known to hydrate and repair your skin barrier for the ultimate youthful glow. As a bonus linoleic acid also fights inflammation. Prickly pear seed oil also contains 16-22% oleic acid (an omega-9 fatty acid) that seals in moisture.
