Differences between argan oil and prickly pear oil

We know that argan oil and prickly pear oil are known for shealing, conditioning, and repairing abilities. Both have become popular treatments for skin care and hydration. So you can determine which one best suits your needs, we will explain each of its fundamental characteristics so you can choose the one that best suits your needs.

What is argan oil?

The argan oil comes from a very special tree that is only cultivated in Morocco. The oil is obtained from the seeds of this tree. The health benefits of argan oil come from its topical application on hair and skin.

What is prickly pear oil?

The oil from prickly pear or tuna comes from the seeds of the fruit of the prickly pear or nopal. Although this cactus grows in other regions, the most abundant and beneficial variety grows in Morocco. This cactus fruit is also often called prickly pear or tuna. To obtain the maximum benefits from tuna oil, make sure it is derived from the Moroccan variety of nopal.

Benefits of argan oil

Argan oil is used to treat acne, as it regulates sebum, the natural moisturizer of the skin. This is especially good if you are prone to oily skin or high sebum production. The good thing about argan oil is that, unlike some chemicals, treating oiliness should not lead to dry skin.

Argan oil can also be used as a moisturizer for the skin, to prevent the appearance of wrinkles, reduce fine lines, provide strength, shine, and shine to the hair, repair and hydrate the skin, strengthen your nails and restore their natural shine, reduce scars and accelerate skin recovery, prevent the appearance of dandruff on the scalp and prevent frizz and split ends.

Benefits of prickly pear oil

Prickly pear oil or barbarian oil can help to restore elasticity from the skin. You can also use it to achieve a more even or radiant skin tone. Prickly pear oil can also help make your skin softer and healthier. It can also reduce the size of pores. If you often have dark circles under your eyes, use barbarie oil to reduce their appearance. You can also use Moroccan prickly pear oil to reduce fine lines and prevent premature wrinkles. 

Why the price difference?

The prickly pear oil has a higher price than argan oil not only because it has 5 times more density of vitamin E and skin regenerating fatty acids, but also because the extraction of the seeds from the prickly pear cannot be automated in a large-scale production line. Additionally, the amount of raw materials involved in the production of the oil is truly impressive, as it takes about 500 kilos of prickly pear to obtain approximately 25 kilograms of seeds, and from these, after the pressing process, only one liter of tuna oil is generated. 

However, producing argan oil is easier because it is carried out through a partially mechanized process. The collection of the seeds is done using the manual method to prevent damage, and they are subsequently passed through electric mills.These mills rotate at low speeds to avoid heating the seed paste and ensure the cold extraction of argan oil in its first pressing.
