Discover the exceptional power of PolyNopal™, the only French prickly pear gel. A key ingredient specially designed to meet the needs of black skin and kinky hair (type 4C). This gel, extracted from Opuntia ficus-indica cladodes, is a true revolution in hair and skin regeneration, praised for its hydrating, reparative, and protective properties. Its efficacy is proven through clinical studies conducted exclusively on kinky hair and on black women with skin tightness linked to intense athletic activity.
A Natural Treasure for Cellular Regeneration
Thanks to its richness in mucilage, polysaccharides, antioxidants, and minerals, nopal gel offers a unique solution for regenerating and repairing dry, sensitive, and hyperpigmented skin.
t soothes skin irritations and promotes healing by stimulating collagen production while protecting against external aggressions.
This targeted action is particularly beneficial for black skin, which is often more prone to hyperpigmentation scars and loss of firmness. Our innovative eco-extraction method makes it even more effective than traditional extractions.
Kinky Hair Care (Type 4C)
Hair Regeneration for Kinky Hair
Kinky hair, often fragile and prone to breakage, requires special care. Nopal gel penetrates deeply to intensely hydrate the hair fiber, strengthening it from root to tip. It reduces breakage, stimulates growth, and restores the natural elasticity and shine of kinky hair. The film-forming properties of nopal also help create a protective barrier to prevent dehydration and external aggressions, while making styling and detangling easier.

Athlete Care
The Miracle Ingredient for Intense Hydration
Nopal gel is the perfect ally for high-level athletes, whose skin is subjected to extreme conditions such as friction, excessive sweating, and exposure to harsh weather. Thanks to its regenerating and soothing properties, this gel works deeply to repair skin damaged by intense physical activity and superficial injuries. Its exceptional moisturizing power helps restore the skin's barrier and prevent the irritations often experienced by athletes, while promoting rapid healing. The natural antioxidants in nopal also protect the skin against oxidative stress linked to prolonged sun exposure or environmental factors. Regular use of nopal gel allows athletes to maintain healthy, resilient skin, ready to face new challenges.
