Description
The barbary fig is the prickly pear cactus, grown in large hedges and plantations in southwest Morocco. Its spiny fruit is picked each summer with gloves or tongs, and its tiny hard seeds are pressed for barbary fig seed oil. This scrub uses barbary fig to gently exfoliate face and body, leaving skin feeling soft and smooth. Use it once or twice a week on damp skin.
