Descriere
Barbary Fig Oil is obtained by macerating the dried flowers of the prickly pear cactus (Opuntia ficus-indica) in oil, which contain phytosterols, carotenoids, and lipophilic compounds beneficial for skin care. It is an emollient oil with mild firming, revitalizing, and anti-aging properties, accessible and versatile, primarily used for the care of mature, dry, wrinkled, and devitalized-looking skin.
In everyday cosmetic applications, this oil serves as an excellent emollient agent and a skin barrier protector for dehydrated, tired skin, or skin exposed to urban oxidative stress. Being rich in unsaturated fatty acids and polyphenolic compounds, the oil limits transepidermal water loss and fortifies the skin's natural barrier. Its fine texture makes it ideal as a facial massage base, a revitalizing serum, or an ingredient in formulas designed to maintain the elasticity of the face, neck, and decolletage.
Cactus flowers possess an interesting phytochemical profile, composed of Polyphenols and Flavonoids (specifically isorhamnetin and quercetin glycosides), Xanthophylls (Lutein), Phytosterols (Beta-sitosterol, Campesterol), and Tocopherols.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is it the same thing as Prickly Pear oil?
No. Prickly Pear oil is obtained by pressing the seeds of the Opuntia fruit, a precious and expensive oil. Barbary Fig Oil is a flower macerate in vegetable oil, more accessible and versatile, but with a different active profile.
Is it suitable for combination skin?
It has a favorable profile for combination skin. It can also be tolerated on oilier skin, but testing on a small area beforehand is recommended.

Perfect pentru pielea uscată, sensibilă sau matură, oferă protecție și elasticitate. Un must-have în îngrijirea naturală a pielii!
Lasă pielea catifelată și netedă, prezintă activitate antioxidantă și capacitate de rejuvenare celulară, ajută la repararea și restructurarea pielii, ajută la prevenirea semnelor de îmbătrânire.
Imi place foarte mult chiar daca este un extract si nu este purul ulei de smochin dar si asa are efecte vizibile asupra tenului.
Un ulei nelipsit in produsele pentru tenul matur, in tratamentele anti-aging. Rezultatele sunt vizibile dupa primele utilizari.
folosesc acest ulei la majoritatea produselor la care doresc sa obtin un efect antirid - emulsii, seruri, etc. Imi place ca nu are un miros pregnant si e usor de utilizat.
Indispensabil în uleiul pentru fermitatea bustului, rezultate notabile încă de la primele utilizari! Am înlocuit totuși uleiurile esentiale cu altele, cel de ciste și de lavandă, doream alt parfum.
Sunt super încântată de acest ulei. Se vede o luminozitate si catifelare a feței încă de la prima folosire.
Un ulei pe atat de pretios pentru toate cremele pentru ten uscat si imbatranit, rezultate vizibile dupa prima folosire.
Hidrateaza si imbunatateste vizibil aspectul pielii insa nu este potrivit pentru oricine (nu l-as recomanda persoanelor cu ten predispus la acnee deloc, fata mea s-a umplut de bubite care au trecut dupa trei sau patru zile dupa ce am incetat sa il folosesc).
