PRÍ PEAR – pioneers and visionaries for future generations
THE INTEGRITY OIL
PRÍ PEAR Beauty Oil was born from the need for a toxin-free, natural skincare range. Our founder, Mich Roeloffs, in her pursuit of finding natural skincare products, re-discovered an age-old beauty treatment, a forgotten gem with countless benefits.
This almost magic elixir was Prickly Pear Seed Oil, and it provided an all-natural, holistic skincare solution.
During her search, Mich seemed destined to meet the farmer of Heirloom Orchards in South Africa, who has been ethically growing this sustainable crop of heritage cactus plants following best farming practices. The two have forged a strong bond and share a fondness for this humble yet versatile plant and its miraculous benefits. Sustainable, it grows in shallow soil and does not require intense watering, fertilisers, or chemical intervention to grow abundantly.
As an agriculture enthusiast, she noticed that the wellness industry needed to create an awareness of these natural beauty products and the fascinating plant they originate from.

OUR FOUNDER
The oil produced from the bountiful crop contains high concentrations of Vitamin E, a rich antioxidant that fights free radicals. It also has high amounts of Linoleic Acid (the highest in the plant kingdom), penetrating the skin and locking in moisture without leaving an oily residue. It is also a natural anti-inflammatory. Vegan, gluten-free and non-comedogenic, this oil is suitable for all skin types.
Prickly Pear Seed oil is currently one of the most sought-after ingredients in today’s skincare market. Our ‘liquid gold’ requires a massive tonne of prickly pear fruit to produce 1 litre of this extraordinary oil.

Benefits:
OUR ROOTS ARE AFRICAN:
Heirloom Orchards in South Africa is multigenerational
prickly pear farm where our fruits are hand-harvested,
providing jobs for the local community. Every harvest is handled with care, is traceable and treated with the utmost respect by not using toxic pesticides, harmful chemicals or growth stimulants.
OUR PACKAGING:
We use amber bottles to preserve the oil’s molecular structure because sunlight exposure destroys
the stability of the oil.
Our glass bottles and pipettes are recyclable, as well as our shipping boxes. At the end of 2021, we implemented a no bubble wrap policy and replaced it with Repak Honeycomb Wrap, which is biodegradable. Our tissue paper is printed with vegan-friendly ink. PRÍ PEAR is a proud member of Beauty without Cruelty South Africa.
SUPPORTING WOMEN IN BUSINESS:
Women are making changes post pandemic
in their working lives by tackling issues at work and home. PRÍ PEAR currently supports women in business by using the services of Women Entrepreneurs.
