For Hair That Can Handle the Heat: Brimming with nutrients, Prickly Pear Butter helps smooth frizz and keep hair nourished, even in hot, dry weather.
Lightweight, Luxe Feel: This butter melts into skin with a velvety finish that feels soft, not heavy. Its smooth, creamy texture glides on easily and blends beautifully into creams, balms, and body butters.
Not-So-Prickly Skin Care: Despite its spiky origin, Prickly Pear Butter is gentle enough for dry or sensitive skin. With soothing vitamins and antioxidants, it supports a soft, radiant complexion.
