Bring home a splash of desert color with this vibrant Santa Rita Purple Prickly Pear, a stunning cactus native to Cochise County, Arizona. This striking pad is perfect for potting or propagation and thrives in full sun with minimal care.
🍃 Key Features
 Color: Pads blush rich pinky-purple in winter or under drought stress and fade to soft blue-grey in summer. Exposure to full sun deepens the color—especially when neglected or in dormancy.
 Flowers: Dark yellow blooms ringed with copper appear in spring to early summer, creating a dramatic contrast against purple-toned pads.
 Fruit: Produces edible purple fruits after flowering—loved by wildlife and great for subtle harvesting.
 Structure: A rounded, tree-like cactus that grows to 4–6 ft tall and 8–10 ft wide at maturity. Pads are nearly circular and often spineless or with few central spines.

🌿 Care & Growing Tips
Light: Full sun enhances color and bloom potential.
Water: Water every 2–3 weeks during warm months; monthly or less in cooler seasons.
Soil: Use well-draining cactus mix.
Cold Hardy: Tolerates down to 0°F to -5°F (USDA Zone 7) when kept dry.
Container Friendly: Makes a stunning potted specimen or low-maintenance landscape accent.
Note: The purple coloring is often a result of neglect or winter dormancy. Because we send healthy, well-cared-for pads, they may arrive more green-blue. Color change is encouraged with time and environmental stress (sun, cold, dryness).

My favorite sunscreen
Very easy to use and reapply, prevents sunburn effectively, and I love the way it makes my skin glow. I will say if you are using it properly, you will go through a bottle quickly so I recommend purchasing 2 right out the gate.

Adds a nice glow but stays oily and don’t trust the SPF!
Color: Rose, Color: Rose
Edit: taking this down to 3 stars after I finally got the chance to wear it in the sun for several hours and test the SPF. I went to an outdoor event and wore just the glow oil for 4 hours and got some pretty good sunburns on my face and shoulders (see last photo)! The only reason I didn’t take the stars lower is that they advertise it as a glow glitter oil before spf and that part is true. I’d also note that after an hour in the sun my sweat started to bead up because of the oil- I’d normally sweat yes but in a sheen that isn’t super noticeable vs big drops all over that made me look like I had a fever or something! I also never felt like the oily feeling absorbed into my skin. So I 100% won’t be trusting this for SPF in the future and with the oily feeling I don’t think I’d even wear it for just the shimmer look. I’ll admit I was a little skeptical about the spf of this oil, but I looked at all the ingredients and GPT says it’s good stuff lol! So far I’ve only worn it for maybe an hour so hard to say for sure how effective it is but the ingredients are solid. The oil gives a nice gleam and subtle shimmer to your skin, not too glittery. It is oil so it doesn’t really rub in, I don’t know if I’d wear it with any super nice clothes.

Great alternative to the high end brand.
This product was delightful! Glides on beautifully, and provides great sun protection. I am fairly light complexed and this did its job keeping me from getting burned. It also leaves a beautiful glow on your skin.
