Overview
Bella Terra Oils' pure prickly pear seed oil ships in a full 1 gallon container for $134.99, positioned for use on both skin and hair. The title describes it as high in vitamin E, non-greasy, and fast absorbing, which are the main performance details available for this listing since detailed structured specs aren't provided.
At this size, the product is really built for professional or bulk use, similar to its Bella Terra sibling in red raspberry seed oil, though it's priced lower at the same gallon volume. That price gap is worth noting if you're comparing the two side by side.
With 197 reviews and a 4.6-star average, this is the higher-rated of the two Bella Terra gallon oils in this set, suggesting a solid track record even without extensive listed specifications.
Pros
- Strong 4.6-star rating across 197 reviews
- Large 1 gallon supply for extended, cost-effective use
- Marketed as lightweight, fast absorbing, and non-greasy
- Suited for both skin and hair use
- Lower price than the brand's raspberry seed oil gallon at the same volume
Cons
- High $134.99 upfront cost
- Gallon size is impractical for casual, single-user routines
- No detailed structured specs available for skin type or full ingredient breakdown
- Zero units bought in the past month suggests limited current turnover
Performance notes
Prickly pear seed oil is often valued in skincare for a naturally high vitamin E content along with a lightweight, fast-absorbing texture, both of which the listing highlights directly. Since detailed structured specs aren't available for this item, the product title's description, dual use for skin and hair, a non-greasy finish, and rapid absorption, is the clearest guide to how it performs.
What buyers say
A 4.6-star average across 197 reviews is a strong result, slightly ahead of its raspberry seed oil sibling from the same brand. As with other gallon-size oils in this set, the zero units bought in the past month likely reflects lower purchase frequency for a bulk product rather than dissatisfaction.

Both are sold in the same 1 gallon size from Bella Terra Oils, but this prickly pear seed oil is priced lower, at $134.99 versus $179.99, and leans on vitamin E content rather than the antioxidant and UV-related claims made for the raspberry seed version. It also holds a slightly higher review rating.
Will this oil feel heavy or greasy on skin?
The listing describes it as non-greasy with rapid absorption, suggesting a lighter feel than some thicker facial oils. Since detailed structured specs aren't provided, this description from the title is the main guidance available on texture.
Is this oil meant for hair as well as skin?
Yes, the title specifically markets it for both skin and hair use, making it a flexible option for anyone who wants to apply the same oil across both without buying separate products.
