Botanica Gaia Bio Dragonfruit Carrier Oil | Hylocereus undatus | For natural Skincare and Haircare

Dragonfruit, also known as pitaya or pitahaya, is one of the most exotic and visually striking fruits of the cactus family (Cactaceae). While its vibrant pink skin and speckled flesh are widely enjoyed as a nutrient-rich superfruit, its tiny black seeds yield an equally precious oil. Dragonfruit seed oil, cold-pressed from these seeds, is a lightweight, silky botanical oil with exceptional cosmetic potential. Rich in essential fatty acids, tocopherols (vitamin E), and natural antioxidants, dragonfruit seed oil offers a perfect balance of hydration, regeneration, and protection.

As modern consumers increasingly seek exotic and high-performance plant oils, dragonfruit seed oil stands out as a luxury ingredient for innovative skincare and haircare formulations.
