Mérida Candle

The Nopal (also known as the prickly pear cactus) has long been the gold standard in Mexican beauty tradition. This ancient symbol of resilience is able to rapidly regenerate once harvested, making it a uniquely reliable and sustainable crop. Rich in antioxidants and vitamins, the Nopal boasts double the essential fatty acids found in argan oil and is gentle enough for all skin types and everybody.

Indigenous to Mexico, the Nopal is a master of moisture retention, storing water in its pads in order to thrive in even the most extreme climates. The fibers of these pads provide natural exfoliation, and its oil, derived from the seeds of the cactus fruit, is prized for its hyper-hydrating and anti-inflammatory properties—typically reserved for luxury skincare.

At Nopalera, we believe your whole body is worthy of the myriad benefits of the Nopal. That’s why we take a whole-plant approach, infusing our products with all parts of this miracle ingredient, so everyone can experience its incredible powers from head to toe.
