Prickly Pear is nourishing, softening, and high in linoleic acid. This makes the oil ideal for dry AND oily, acne-prone skin. Prickly Pear Seed's high oleic acid content also combats free radical damage, reducing the appearance of dark spots that can occur over time.
Luxurious and soothing, it is a popular ingredient in body care lotions, crèmes and herbal balms that boost skin tone and elasticity.

Warming Balm
4oz glass mason jar and lid
2oz Prickly Pear Seed Oil
1oz Beeswax
60 drops Fir Needle Essential Oil
20 drops Cardamom Essential oil
10 drops Cinnamon Leaf Essential Oil
Slowly melt the beeswax into the Prickly Pear Seed Oil over a double boiler. Once fully melted, remove and wait until it cools enough to where a drop on the inside of the wrist doesn’t burn, and then add the essential oils. Give a quick stir, and pour into the mason jar and seal. Do not move until the balm has fully cooled.
