Frequently Asked Questions
Cactus Nectar is best used in the morning for optimal results. It helps protect your skin from environmental stressors while brightening your complexion throughout the day. For best results, use it after cleansing and applying Palo Duro pre-serum moisturizer, then follow with your favorite sunscreen.
Cactus Nectar has a slightly sweet scent with a fresh, natural tone, reflecting its cactus-inspired name. The fragrance is subtle and refreshing, providing a clean feel after application. Desert Rose, on the other hand, has a stronger aroma due to the natural scent of bakuchiol, but it fades shortly after application, leaving your skin with a soft, light fragrance.
Special Note: Our serums do not contain added fragrance oils. Any scent comes naturally from the botanical ingredients used in the formulation, ensuring a pure and gentle experience for your skin.
Yes! Cactus Nectar is 100% vegan. It is formulated without any animal-derived ingredients, making it a great choice for those following a vegan or cruelty-free skincare routine.
Oil-based serums, like Cactus Nectar, are formulated with oils such as prickly pear, moringa, and coconut, which help to deeply hydrate and nourish the skin. They are ideal for locking in moisture and providing long-lasting hydration. Oil-based serums also tend to be richer in antioxidants, offering protection against environmental stressors.
In contrast, water-based serums are typically lighter and may absorb faster into the skin, but they focus more on delivering hydration without the richness of oils. Water-based formulas are great for those with oily or acne-prone skin, while oil-based serums are more beneficial for dry or mature skin types looking for deeper nourishment.
