Succulence

Succulence is a lush oil for BEEauty, Prickly pear cactus oil is a nutrient-rich oil that comes from the seeds of the prickly pear fruit, then alchemised with bee magic by sun infusing this rare oil with Propolis 

This oil was extremely challenging to source as there is a lot of fake stuff out there as it’s one of the most expensive oils in the world. I went straight to the source in Morocco, I have been making beauty products now for over 10 years and it’s my favourite ingredient I have ever found… it’s definitely worth it! 

The propolis is sourced sustainably from the well loved hives of Save the Bees Australia 

 It comes in a beautiful Moroccan glass bottle, just use 3-5 drops on a moist face or hair after showering 

PRICKLY PEAR 🌵

Is often considered one of the most luxurious natural oils because of how labor-intensive it is to produce (it takes about a million seeds to make a litre). 

Here are its main benefits:

🌿 Skin Benefits

• Rich in vitamin E – has one of the highest vitamin E contents of any plant oil, making it deeply moisturizing and protective.

• Anti-aging – its antioxidants (vitamin E, polyphenols, betalains) help fight free radicals, reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and signs of aging.

• Skin barrier support – high in essential fatty acids (linoleic acid, oleic acid) that strengthen and restore the skin’s barrier, keeping it hydrated and supple.

• Soothing & calming – reduces redness, irritation, and inflammation, good for sensitive or acne-prone skin.

• Brightening – helps lighten dark spots and hyperpigmentation, giving skin a more even tone and glow.

• Non-comedogenic – despite being rich, it’s lightweight and absorbs quickly without clogging pores.

💇‍♀️ Hair & Scalp Benefits

• Strengthens hair – nourishes follicles with vitamin E and fatty acids, improving shine and reducing split ends.

• Moisturizes scalp – helps with dryness and flakiness.

• Promotes healthy growth – stimulates circulation and supports hair resilience.
