About

Juice extracted from the wheel cactus (Opuntia robusta), a hydrating botanical used in natural skincare.

Opuntia robusta (wheel cactus) leaf juice is rich in polysaccharides, mucilage, and pectin-type compounds that provide excellent water-binding and skin-softening properties. Used in traditional Mexican skincare and food, it has an excellent safety profile. EU cosmetics regulation places no specific restrictions on Opuntia species. The juice form is well-tolerated by most skin types including sensitive skin.
