Background Story
Wheatgerm Oil is obtained from the germ of the wheat grain, a cereal grass originally native to Western Asia and now cultivated throughout the world. While the wheat grain itself is mostly starch, the small germ portion contains a concentrated source of vitamins, minerals, proteins, and oils.
Wheatgerm Oil is recognised as one of the richest natural sources of Vitamin E available. For generations it has been valued for helping nourish and protect the skin while supporting healthy ageing. Aromatherapists frequently add small amounts of Wheatgerm Oil to other carrier oils because its antioxidant content helps improve stability and extend shelf life.
Although the unrefined oil has a distinctive aroma, its exceptional nutrient profile makes it one of the most respected specialty carrier oils in natural skincare.
