Opuntia humifusa, also called eastern prickly pear or low prickly pear, is an evergreen perennial cactus species native to sunny, dry areas with sandy soil across much of the eastern United States. Noted for its attractive yellow flowers from late spring to mid-summer, eastern prickly pear is one of only two species of cactus found in the eastern United States, and can be found near beaches on the Delmarva peninsula, as well as in more upland shale barren-type areas in western Maryland. 

Eastern prickly pear typically grows to about 10-18" tall and up to 3' wide in sprawling clumps, and does excellently in barren locations with sandy or rocky soil that many other plants cannot tolerate; though it prefers sandy sites, any location with drier, well-draining soils can support this beautiful plant. As a stereotypical cactus, Opuntia humifusa requires areas with a lot of sun, and can tolerate extended periods of drought and incredibly nutrient poor soils. Though this plant's flowers are attractive to a number of pollinator species, and its fruits and peeled pads are both edible to both wildlife and to people, prickly pear is also covered in small bundles of spiny, barbed bristles which can stick in the skin and cause discomfort, so careful preparation and careful planting locations are required.

As a bonus, one of the creatures that feeds on eastern prickly pear is box turtles, meaning that eastern prickly pear is one of the only selections at Unity that can be used to attract reptiles to the backyard too!

Clear face
I love using Eucerin products. It’s safe my skin and protects. It’s my first time trying the sunscreen so far I like it. I don’t do makeups. It has a clear view on my face, doesn’t leave any whit spot le so I love it.

Best face sun protection
My Neutrogena one stung my eyes and made me constantly tear and this is soooo much better. It feels light and dries down well without feeling greasy. Also it didn't make my skin react. A++

Greasy but light
It's very lightweight and is definitely hydrating it's lightly greasy after its dry and it is not matte but has a dewy shine to it , I have tried many sunscreens and settled on this one as it just has a nicer feel to it and is easier to apply everyday, it goes on quickly and leaves no white streaks at all Its more watery than thick And does NOT peel whatsoever I Would definitely recommend this as a daily Face sunscreen if you not mind the shine it has to it. Its convenient Yet the bottle is small and last only about a 1 to 3 weeks depending how many times you use it To bad They DO NOT MAKE A BIGGER SIZE
