What is Cactus?
What's the first thing that comes to your mind when your hear about cactus? A prickly to the touch, it's painful and should be avoided at all costs. But this prickly catcus contains soothing and moisturizing properties as well as antioxidants, and was even used by the Aztecs to keep skin health.
Opuntia Ficus-Indica (Prickly Pear, Indian Fig, Nopal) Extract come from deserts, where a finite amount of rainfall occurs. The cactus and the prickly pear are actually derived from the same plant; the prickly pear refers to the fruit of the plant, while the nopal is the ‘pads’ of the cactus. Cactus do an exceptional job of surviving these types of harsh conditions. Think about it—if cactus can survive the harsh desert climate, just imagine the hydration powers they can bring to your skin. It may seem confusing to think of a plant that lives in such a dry environment can help hydrate your skin, but this is the best occlusive—aka something that prevents water loss—for your skin. The jelly-like substance inside a cactus which contains a concentration of moisture and high levels of antioxidants that help the plant survive. So, how do this ingredient work on our skin?

The Texture
Cactus + Copal Oro Facial Exfoliator is a pasty looking grainy face scrub. The granules are small and coarse but they are gentle enough so that they are not too harsh on the skin. The texture is buttery and pasty – almost like a body butter but grainy and the kinds that you could go on and on giving massage to your skin. It almost feels like you are exfoliating your skin with a thick and grainy body butter.
What it smell like
The aroma is very therapeutic – a mix of minty and herbaceous essential oils. It is very soothing and totally refresh the skin. If you are used to of using sweet or citrusy smelling fragranced products, then the aroma is not something you’d enjoy. It’s very herbaceous and resinous and may almost smell like camphorated scent to you.
Certain essential oils may be contraindicated with certain medical conditions. Ask your doctor if you have any questions before use.
Skin Concern:
All skin types, especially combination and dry skin. Cactus + Copal Oro Facial Exfoliator is a milder scrub can be suitable for weekly exfoliation, as it only have small, round-shaped particles.
