Nopal Cactus Extract Powder, also known as Indian prickly pear or cactus powder, is derived from the nutrient-rich leaves of the prickly pear cactus, a key ingredient in traditional Mexican cuisine and herbal medicine. This superfood is rich in dietary fiber (up to 50% when dehydrated), calcium and minerals, bioflavonoids (quercetin and betalain), pectin, and mucilage.

It offers numerous health benefits and is widely used in nutraceuticals (diabetes/cholesterol management), cosmetics (anti-aging formulations), and food fortification (fiber-rich snacks).

The global prickly pear powder market is rapidly expanding, driven by growing demand for natural health supplements and functional foods. Consumers' increasing preference for plant-based, clean-label ingredients is driving its use in sports nutrition and wellness products.

We source premium raw materials and work directly with growers to ensure high-quality, non-GMO prickly pear with optimal bioactivity retention. Our proprietary dehydration process retains over 95% of nutrients, improving solubility and bioavailability for OEM customers in capsules, beverages, and baked goods.

Topical Use 0.5% to 2% in formulated creams, masks, or serums.
