Because Prickly Pear has the highest percentage of unsaturated fatty acids (significantly more than even Argan oil), it's powerfully calming to the skin. Fatty acids or omegas are highly anti-inflammatory, and when applied topically, skin redness, blotchiness, and irritation are reduced significantly. Prickly Pear is also concentrated with vitamin K, which aids in lightening dark spots on the face and dark circles under the eyes. A calm, glowing, brighter complexion is the end result. Prolonged use of this ingredient will promote healthier, brightened skin.
