Opuntia ficus-indica exocarp oil is SAHARÔME’s Anti-ageing & Emollient Balance prickly pear oil, obtained from upcycled fruit exocarp and sourced from Ethiopian high-altitude steppe ecotypes (2,500–4,000 m). Unlike prickly pear seed oils, it combines a balanced Ω6/Ω9 profile with a significant concentration of α-tocopherol, the major vitamin E form. It is positioned as the Balance pillar within SAHARÔME’s Functional Prickly Pear Vegetable Oils Concept.
