Prickly Pear - Opuntia ficus-indica

Prickly Pear - Opuntia, also known as nopales or paddle cactus (see below), is a genus in the cactus family, Cactaceae.
Currently, only prickly pears are included in this genus of about 200 species distributed throughout most of the Americas.
Chollas are now separated into the genus Cylindropuntia, which some still consider a subgenus of Opuntia.
Austrocylindropuntia, Corynopuntia and Micropuntia are also often included in the present genus, but like Cylindropuntia they seem rather well distinct. Brasiliopuntia and Miqueliopuntia are closer relatives of Opuntia.
 
The genus is named for the Ancient Greek city of Opus where, according to Theophrastus, an edible plant grew which could be propagated by rooting its leaves.
 
It has excellent moisturizing and antioxidant properties and helps promote skin firmness.
he rapidly absorbed oil contains exceptionally high levels of essential fatty acids (over 85%), tocopherols (vitamin E), and linoleum acid (over 70%).

By using this moisturiser a natural barrier for the skin is created, which intercepts the free radicals, slowing the aging process down.
