Opuntia sulphurea
Common Name: Sulphur Prickly Pear

 

Opuntia sulphurea is a distinctive prickly pear native to Argentina and Bolivia, prized for its blue-green to gray-green pads and dramatic long, white, toothpick-like spines. Unlike many heavily armored Opuntias, this species typically displays fewer spines, allowing the striking length and bright white color of each spine to stand out against the cool-toned pads.

 

Over time, it forms spreading clumps that make an impressive addition to desert gardens, rockeries, and cactus collections. In spring and early summer, mature plants produce bright yellow flowers that provide a beautiful contrast to its sculptural form.

 

☀ Light Requirements
Thrives in full sun. Strong light encourages compact growth and healthy spine development.

 

💧 Watering Needs
Water only when the soil is completely dry. Requires excellent drainage and is highly drought tolerant once established.

 

🌡 Temperature Tolerance
Hardy to approximately 20–25°F in dry conditions. Protect from prolonged freezes and wet winter conditions.

 

✨ Key Characteristics
• Blue-green to gray-green pads
• Long, white, toothpick-like spines
• Bright yellow spring flowers

Highly effective makeup remover and face cleanser wipes
Size: 50 Count (Pack of 1)
These are my favorite makeup remover wipes! I have them on subscribe and save because I use them every night. They are super effective and leave a moisturizing sheen on your face after cleansing. Highly effective!

Very healing
I bought this for face but had also heard that this can be used for other skin issues. Yesterday, I cut my index finger with a label remover (basically a razor blade). Once I stopped the bleeding, I kept it clean and covered for a bit. Before bed, I decided to put a dab of this on my cut, when I woke up this morning, it's like a miracle! It barely hurts and looks quite healed!

It works... very well... for me. VERY WELL.
I typically detest American companies as many of the products contain both harmful and helpful ingredients at the same time. So far, Prequel has EXCEEDED my expectations. PROS: It works for my skin. EWG gives good scores to Prequel also. Skin looks great afterwards. No scent. Lasts for hours with a healthy skin tone. You don't have to use a lot to cover an area (see below). CONS: Slightly greasy when applied so it not a lightweight cream. Small tube (see below). Pricey. You don't have to use a lot. I find that due to its slightly greasy nature, you can use much less to cover a greater area. Afterwards the greasiness disappears, leaving plump, healthy feeling skin texture. As with any skincare product, your skin may react differently. I have tried major Western brands which worsened my skin (Cereva for instance) before switching to Korean & Japanese products (far superior). Prequel is now the only Western brand I will use on a regular basis, to include their bar of soap (superior to my regular Korean brand).

Great dry spot treatment!
Worked wonders on winter dry patches on my cheeks and sides of mouth. I’m a somewhat new Prequel product user. I follow the creator on YouTube and love her skincare videos. I have tried a few products so far and have been happy with the results. I just ordered the foot repair ointment for my husband as well. I think this brand is a great value for the money. I have not had any bad reactions so far and I have VERY sensitive skin. This ointment is lightweight and melts into my skin well and the next morning my dry spots were literally invisible. It’s fragrance free, I did not notice any scent at all, which is importance to me.

Prequel is always great
Very soothing and calming for skin. Tube lasted a long time. I have sensitive skin and often have reactions but did great with this.
