Rich in antioxidants, the oil from Prickly Pear Cactus also helps maintain skin's natural glow.

#2: Replenishes Vitamin E

Prickly Pear is chock full of Vitamin E, which acts as a natural conditioner. This will give you hair shine, and volume. It can also help repair damaged hair and protect your hair from being damaged in the sun! Glass of cactus juice with nopales, parsley and cucumber on white

#3: Natural Sudsing Effect

As you have probably discovered, Morrocco Method products don't foam quite as much as normal products. More than often, the suds produced by traditional shampoos are a byproduct of Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), an astrigent chemical that  strips the hair of its natural oils. Prickly Pear is a great natural alternative as it provides a very low sudsing action to our shampoos. This helps spread the products a little better throughout the hair. And as a bonus, it tastes great grilled or over salad! It just goes to show how radiantly healthy hair can be achieved with a little help from Mother Nature's most peculiar ingredients.
