Description

Wheat germ oil has a high nutritional value when compared to the other vegetables or grains. It constitutes almost 25% of the total nutrients of the wheat grain. Wheat germ oil  is derived from the germ of the wheat plant, which is considered the “heart” of wheat since it is found at the center of the wheat berry. It feeds the wheat plant with nutrients to help it germinate and grow. Wheat germ is the most nutritious component of the wheat kernel and contains 23 different nutrients, including protein, B vitamins, omega-3 fatty acids, iron and calcium. Its dense nutritional benefits make it a healthy addition to diets. The oil is also nutrient-packed, which makes it particularly well-suited to moisturizing and soothing the skin.

Common Uses/Benefits

Wheat-germ oil is readily absorbed by the skin, which makes it an effective moisturizer and an appropriate topical treatment. When applied to the skin, wheat-germ oil delivers a healthy infusion of vitamin A, vitamin D, B vitamins, antioxidants and fatty acids. These nutrients not only moisturize and heal dry or cracked skin, they also help prevent scarring. In particular, wheat-germ oil is a rich source of vitamin E, which helps reduce skin damage, fight free radicals, support healthy collagen formation and maintain even skin tone.

If you’re using wheat-germ oil topically, it can be used as part of a blend. Try blending with  oils, such as jojoba or carrot, and essential oils, such as sandalwood, geranium, cedarwood, fennel, lavender and patchouli – all of which support healthy skin.

When used in haircare, Wheat Germ Oil’s nourishing and conditioning qualities are known to encourage stronger, longer, and healthier hair growth, address hair loss, hydrate the strands, bring out hair’s natural sheen, and help with easier manageability.

Those with a wheat or gluten allergy or sensitivity should avoid using wheat-germ oil. Additionally, because of wheat-germ oil’s sensitivity to light, temperature fluctuations and oxidation, it’s best to store in a cool place, where it can stay fresh for longer.
