"Soltane El GHALLA" - The Sultan of the Fruit Realm
Once upon a time, a cactus from Mexico embarked on a journey that took it all the way to Tunisia, where it decided to call home. Whether thriving in the wild, adorning the landscapes around rustic dwellings, serving as natural field boundaries, or meticulously cultivated, the prickly pear tree has firmly established its presence in Tunisia's picturesque countryside.
Since the 1920s, Tunisia has diligently nurtured its forage crops, ensuring a steady supply of animal feed to support livestock during times when natural grasses grow scarce. Today, the cultivation of the prickly pear tree, an endeavor brimming with promise on the socio-economic front, has embraced modern agricultural techniques, increasingly earning the coveted organic label. The acreage dedicated to this endeavor, spanning approximately 600,000 hectares, continues to expand. In fact, second only to Mexico, Tunisia proudly stands as one of the world's leading producers of prickly pear fruits.
PRICKLY PEAR SEED OIL: THE SKIN CARE GAME-CHANGER
what is prickly pear seeds oil ?
Get ready to experience the ultimate skincare ingredient found only in the semi-arid lands of Tunisia. At BioRich, we dub it as "PRICKLY PEAR SEED OIL on steroids" because of its exceptional benefits for your skin. The Opuntia Ficus Indica seed, found in its natural habitat without the use of fertilizers or human intervention, is a marvel of nature. Despite the long periods without water, this cactus plant continues to thrive and produce high-quality fruits. The many small, dark seeds within these fruits are carefully separated, dried, cold-pressed, and transformed into the luxurious PRICKLY PEAR SEED OIL. This meticulous and labor-intensive process, which involves the extraction of numerous cactus trees per liter, puts this oil in a class of its own and makes it one of the most expensive oils globally. With BioRich, transform your skincare regime with our confidence-boosting PRICKLY PEAR SEED OIL.
As we grow older, keeping your skin well-hydrated is a given. However, were you aware that you can also enrich, illuminate, and shield your skin fromthe effects of city life by employing a single natural component? Allow us to introduce you to prickly pear seed oil, the latest skincare powerhouse inyour routine
The prickly pear seed oil
Is obtained directly through the first cold-pressing of the seeds foundwithin the edible fruit, the prickly pear (Opuntia ficus indica). The oil is extracted through a very long and laborious process. The production of one liter of prickly pear seed oil requires approximately 36 hours of manual labor, and around 1 million prickly pear seeds are needed (approximately 300 seeds for a 150g fruit). The seeds are separated from the pulp, then carefully washed, airdried under sunlight, and meticulously cold-pressed (around 450 kg of paste is needed to produce oneliter of prickly pear seed oil). Following this process, this cold-press extraction technique aims to preserve the nutrients andbenefits of the oil by sacrificing high yields in favor of superior quality. Indeed, heat breaks down the molecules responsiblefor its incredible properties. The prickly pear seeds are so hard that a very powerful press machine is required to extract theelixir without heating it. Prickly pear seed oil is extremely rare, and its extraction has a very low yield due to the small seeds containing only a minimal amount of oil, ranging from 3% to 6% of oil content. In fact, this oil requires between 800 kg and 1ton of prickly pear fruit and 40 kg of seeds to extract 1 liter of oil (34 oz)
The Secret in the Seeds
The seeds found in the prickly pear are separated from the pulp and yield a highly soughtafter oil of rare and precious nature. This oil holds significant interest within the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries and is obtained through the process of cold pressing. Crafting just one liter of this elixir requires nearlya ton of prickly pears. Notably abundant in linoleic acid (making up 60% of its composition) and vitamin E (at a concentration of 1000 mg/Kg), the oil possesses a remarkably fluid and lightweight consistency that allows for swift absorption into the skin. The dynamic components of this elixir are truly extraordinary, making it a miraculous solution. Suitable for all skin types, as it provides an immediate effect of a healthy, radiant glow. Functioning as a potent anti-wrinkle remedy, prickly pear seed oil enhances skin elasticity, counteracts sagging, and offers intense hydration. It also works to reduce the appearance of spots, uncovering the complexion's inherent beauty
