Prickly pear: the green gold of the Ait Baamrane Mountains

In the heart of the Baamrane Mountains, a plant grows that may not seem attractive at first glance, but within it lies a veritable treasure trove of benefits. It's the prickly pear , sometimes called "green gold," which has today become a staple ingredient in natural cosmetics. Through the COOP SAHARA platform, we offer access to unique products extracted from this plant, thanks to specialized local cooperatives.

What makes prickly pear special?

Prickly pear fruits are not only delicious, but they also contain seeds from which one of the rarest and most expensive oils in the world is extracted: prickly pear seed oil . Thanks to its high concentration of essential fatty acids (such as omega 6 and 9), vitamin E, and antioxidants, this oil has become a key ingredient in skin and hair care.
