About

A nutrient-dense seed oil from dragon fruit (pitaya) — rich in omega fatty acids and vitamin C that nourish and brighten skin while providing antioxidant protection.

Hylocereus undatus (white-fleshed dragon fruit, pitaya) seed contains a fixed oil rich in linoleic acid (omega-6), oleic acid (omega-9), and vitamin C (ascorbic acid). The seeds themselves are a byproduct of fruit processing. The fixed oil provides emollient and skin-softening properties, while the vitamin C content contributes antioxidant and collagen-supportive activity. The seeds are considered safe and non-irritating; the oil is used in skin-care applications primarily for its nutritional fatty acid profile.

  • Antioxidant protection (vitamin C)
  • Supports skin barrier function
  • May help brighten and even skin tone

Known concerns

  • Natural fruit acids may cause mild irritation in very sensitive skin
