The adaptogen: Prickly pear cactus extract What it does: According to Kraffert, prickly pear cactus extract (aka opuntia ficus-indica extract) is "a natural humectant rich in antioxidants including flavonoids and vitamins C, A and E." He also notes that it has anti-inflammatory properties as well as anti-cancer effects. Suffice it to say, there's a reason why cactus-based products have been all the rage lately.
