Wheatgerm Oil Refined

Wheatgerm Oil Refined

Wheatgerm Oil, also known as Wheatgerm Carrier Oil, is obtained from the germ (or heart) of the wheat kernel. It is rich in linoleic and oleic acids, and contains a high percentage of natural Vitamin E. For this reason, it is incredibly beneficial for the skin and a preferred carrier oil for diluting essential oils.

• Due to its antioxidant and regenerative properties, Wheatgerm Oil makes an excellent ingredient for cosmetic products, and is especially beneficial for mature, damaged and pale skin with poor circulation.
• It is particularly useful for treating and soothing eczema, psoriasis and dry skin, and is further known to help prevent and heal scarring and maintain even skin tone.
• AWO's Wheatgerm Oil has been refined to create a lighter oil both in colour and odour, without affecting the essential fatty acid content. This makes it ideal for cosmetic, skin care and massage applications.
• It is also commonly used to produce hair care products, skin oils, powders, soaps and face masks.

• Massage: Dilute a few drops of your favourite essential oil in Wheatgerm Carrier Oil to create a soothing and hydrating massage oil.
• Directly on the Skin: Many Wheatgerm Oil benefits can be received by using it directly on the skin.
• Diluting with Essential Oils: Wheatgerm Carrier Oil makes a great base for diluting essential oils. In saying this, it goes great in a lot of skincare formulations such as skin serums and moisturisers.
• Hair Mask: You can also apply this carrier oil to the scalp to create a nourishing hair mask.
