Yes — every formula is designed with sensitive and reactive skin in mind.

Not at all! Prickly Pear is lightweight and non-comedogenic.

Yes. Oils can be layered over serums or moisturisers and used under SPF.

• Face Oil: 2 months
• Cleansing Oil: 1-2 months
• Balm: 6 months

*time frames are an estimate and dependant on usage

Absolutely!

Our Face Oil is imported from Morrocco and bottled right here in Melbourne. All other products are made in small batches in Australia.

Yes!

The one ingredient that changed everything.

We didn’t set out to build a skincare brand.

We just wanted something that worked.

Something simple.
Something honest.
Something that didn’t require a 7-step routine or a bathroom shelf full of half-used bottles.

And then we found prickly pear seed oil.

Or - it actually it found us.

What Is Prickly Pear Seed Oil?

Prickly pear seed oil comes from the tiny seeds of the cactus fruit — grown in harsh, dry climates where survival isn’t optional.

It’s cold-pressed. Precious. Potent.

It takes almost 1 million seeds to make just one litre of oil.

That alone tells you something.

This isn’t filler.
This isn’t fluff.

This is concentration.

Why We Chose Prickly Pear (And Why We’ll Never Swap It)

There are thousands of skincare ingredients out there.
Retinols. Acids. Peptides. Trends that come and go.

We chose one.

Because prickly pear seed oil does what most products promise — without the drama.

1. It’s Rich in Vitamin E (Like, Really Rich)

Prickly pear seed oil contains exceptionally high levels of natural Vitamin E — more than argan oil.

Vitamin E helps:

• Support skin repair

• Improve elasticity

• Reduce the look of fine lines

• Protect against environmental stress

In short? It supports skin that looks healthy, resilient and glowy.

And that’s what you really want, isn’t it?

---

2. It’s Packed with Essential Fatty Acids

Linoleic acid. Omega 6. The good stuff.

These fatty acids help:

• Strengthen your skin barrier

• Lock in moisture

• Calm sensitivity

• Reduce redness

If your skin feels tight, irritated or unpredictable — this is where balance begins.

Not with more products.

With the right one.

---

3. It’s Lightweight (But Deeply Nourishing)

We know what you’re thinking.

“Oil? Won’t that feel greasy?”

Not this one.

Prickly pear seed oil absorbs quickly and sits beautifully under makeup or sunscreen. It nourishes without suffocating. Hydrates without heaviness.

Glow — not shine.

Relief — not residue.

---

4. It Supports Skin at Every Stage

Whether you’re 28 and juggling work and kids.
Or 52 and navigating dryness, sensitivity or hormonal shifts.

Prickly pear meets your skin where it’s at.

It’s gentle.
It’s strengthening.
It supports graceful ageing instead of fighting it.

Because skincare shouldn’t feel like a battle.

---

Why It Works (When Others Didn’t)

If you’ve been burned before, you’re not alone.

Expensive serums that promised miracles.
Trendy actives that irritated more than they improved.
Complex routines that felt like homework.

Prickly pear is different.

It works with your skin — not against it.

It nourishes your barrier so your skin can do what it’s designed to do: protect, repair and glow naturally.

No stripping.
No over-correcting.
No overwhelm.

Just skin that feels calm again.

Cleansing should feel like care. Moisturising should feel like nourishment. Skincare should feel simple.

Right?

The CACTUS Difference

Not all prickly pear oil is created equal.

Ours is:

• 100% pure prickly pear seed oil

• Cold-pressed to preserve nutrients

• Ethically sourced

• Bottled in Australia

• Free from fillers, fragrance and synthetics

No dilution.
No hidden extras.
No “miracle blend”.

Just the hero ingredient — doing what it does best.

---

Fewer Products. Better Skin.

We built CACTUS Melbourne around one belief:

You don’t need more.

You need better.

Prickly pear seed oil is the foundation of:

• THE FACE OIL — for daily glow and nourishment

• THE CLEANSING OIL — for gentle, balanced cleansing

• THE CACTUS BALM — for deep comfort and protection

Three products.
One hero ingredient.
Zero confusion.

Because when your routine feels simple, you actually stick to it.

And that’s when the magic happens.

---

Who Is Prickly Pear For?

If you feel:

• Overwhelmed by too many options

• Frustrated by products that don’t deliver

• Unsure who to trust in the beauty industry

• Time-poor but still craving that glow

• Ready to simplify

You’re exactly who we created this for.

From frustration → relief.
From doubt → confidence.
From complicated → calm.

---

The Bottom Line

We don’t use prickly pear because it’s trendy.

We use it because it works.

It’s resilient.
It’s powerful.
It’s beautifully simple.

And so is your skin — when you let it be.
