Happy New Year and it’s time for the next beauty trends
According to several beauty media magazines and digital articles popping up this month, Prickly Pear Seed Oil will be the skincare trend of 2022. Really?
It certainly made me giggle, but these brands are not saying they discovered this ancient African beauty ingredient.
I don’t know if they are genuinely shining the light on this powerhouse active ingredient or just promoting new clean beauty brands launching new facial oils with Prickly Pear Seed Oil.
At KENZA International Beauty we introduced KENZA Pure Prickly Pear Seed Oil Night Serum in 2012.
Yes, that was ten years ago and you can call us trends setter for having the audacity of introducing the most expensive and precious beauty oil in the industry. We even added it in our hair care and soaps at that time…but enough bragging here.
All we wanted to do in 2012 was to offer authentic, pure, high-quality Moroccan Argan oil after being outraged by what was available on the market in the United States of America. As a native of Morocco, I made it my mission to showcase the real Moroccan oil.
At that time, I knew about the amazing benefits of Prickly Pear Seed Oil as it was very popular in Europe but I also knew that one, my self-funded start-up couldn’t afford it, two no one would spend that much money on this precious beauty oil. (I was wrong on the second point. KENZA Pure Prickly Pear Seed Oil is one of our best sellers’ facial oils).
I got to sample this amazing beauty oil while researching for the best wholesale supplier for Organic Argan Oil in Morocco.
The initial idea in our business plan was to only share the amazing natural properties and benefits of using pure, authentic Moroccan Argan oil for skin, hair, and body care Then Prickly Pear Seed Oil miracles changed our plans. We had very good reasons to immediately pivot and include it in our KENZA be generously beautiful™ beauty line.
Back in 2012, when our humble small indie beauty business started, we took a huge financial risk to include this rare and super expensive Moroccan oil. We knew it will become the facial oil that mature women will use to finally solve all of their skin issues that come with aging, hormonal changes and to protect their skin from free radicals.
I personally was amazed by it when it erased the dark spots that I have been dealing with for years after going through several rounds of IVF treatments (read my personal journey here).
We offered it after experiencing great results in deeply moisturizing the skin but also repairing and rejuvenating mature women’s skin dealing with hyperpigmentation, sun damages, dull, uneven, and irritated skin. Then I was convinced that many women will benefit from this rare beauty oil.
The natural ingredient with incredible moisturizing benefits.
After all, if Prickly Pears cactuses survive in the aridest dry areas and yet keep all of their super antioxidant juices inside their leaves and seeds, imagine what the cold-pressed Prickly Pear Seed Oil can do to your skin.
Prickly Pear Seed Oil (Opuntia Ficus Indica) has a high concentration of Tocopherol (Vitamin E – Antioxidants: phenols, flavonoids {particularly quercetin 3-methyl ether}, betaxanthin, and betacyanin), essential fatty acids (Linoleic Acid or Omega 6), and carotenoids. This oil contains more Tocopherol than any other oil available in the beauty care market (almost 150% more Tocopherol than Argan oil).
“Tocopherols are molecules with strong antioxidant and free radical scavenging properties.”*

At that time, we didn’t even know about the trendy beauty terms: natural beauty, clean beauty, organic beauty, or green beauty. For us, it just made sense to trust the power of natural ingredients, test them and share them with the world. We didn’t wait for beauty magazines to tell us about a skincare trend to decide to offer it in our natural beauty line. And yet we’ve been snubbed all these years by many beauty magazines like Vogue, Allure, and even Oprah (You can contact us anytime Madame Oprah maybe we can finally make it to your “Favorite things list”)!).
The only ones that reached out to us first were ELLE Magazine (featured our Moroccan Oils Hair Treatment in 2015) and Organic SPA Magazine (Gave us Top Beauty Oils award for Prickly Pear Seed Oil Rose ETERNEL Facial Oil in 2020).
Now we proudly offer our clients skin, hair, and body care beauty products with organic Prickly Pear Seed Oil and provide it wholesale and private white label worldwide to several successful luxury Slow beauty brands.
