WHY PP?
(P)RICKLY (P)EAR
While Prickly Pear Cacti are native to the Americas, they currently grow in abundance all over the world. Farmers worldwide plant prickly pear cacti with every type of crop because their root system replenishes dead, nutrient lacking soil allowing their crops to flourish. Considered a superfood, these plants are jam packed with nutritional value that make them extremely beneficial for our bodies.
Prickly Pear Seed Oil contains a plethora of vitamins, minerals, plant acids, and fatty acids that provide antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits. Due to this reason, Prickly Pear Seed Oil is the foundational piece in all our products. This oil alone helps to regenerate and hydrate skin and hair, but we have added additional value to each formula to target and amplify certain functions.
We created our oil blends with the intention of catering to the needs of your skin and hair during specific times of your day. Our body whip and body scrub provide an experience in skin care that include hydration, regeneration, and a craving for more every time! Our lip balm offers a level of moisture that is on another level.
PPBODY is skin care simplified. We keep our formulas true-to-nature because we trust that Mama Earth provides what we need to live in our purest form. She provides all the magic we need, and she continues to inspire us every day. Our color palette was directly inspired by her impeccable display of color: red, tan, green and blue.
