Description
Description
Potent anti-ageing and regenerative ingredient. Its unparalleled Vitamin E content makes it a powerhouse for fighting free radicals, nourishing mature skin, and repairing damage.
Key Benefits & Uses:
Powerful Anti-Ageing Antioxidant: The massive Vitamin E concentration makes this a "go-to" oil for mature skin. It helps to fight free-radical damage (from sun and pollution), which can visibly soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Scar & Stretch Mark Support: This is its most famous use. The oil's deep, regenerative properties are traditionally used to help improve the appearance and texture of scars, stretch marks, and sun-damaged skin.
Intense Repair for Dry Skin: This is a very heavy, rich, and nourishing oil. It is perfect for spot-treating and repairing small areas of very dry, cracked, or chapped skin (e.g., elbows, heels, and cuticles).
How to Use (Important): Due to its thick, rich nature and strong aroma, Wheat Germ Oil is best used as a "booster." We recommend blending 5-10% of this oil into a lighter carrier (like Sweet Almond or Jojoba) to add its powerful Vitamin E benefits to any blend.
Allergy & Storage Note:
This oil is derived from wheat and may contain gluten.
It has a shorter shelf-life; we recommend storing it in the fridge after opening.

Wheat Germ is known to be the richest plant source of vitamin E.
Our antioxidant carrier oil, extracted from the germ of wheat, is well known for its strong anti-wrinkle and regenerative properties and is especially beneficial to dry mature skins and skins affected by extreme drying conditions.
A dense, viscous and oily carrier, Wheatgerm carrier oil is high in vitamin A, D, E and K.
Wheat germ carrier oil will deeply regenerate the protective walls of our dry skin and hair, will help lock-in hydration, leaving our skin a velvety lasting effect.
