Wheatgerm Carrier Oil - 100ml

Wheatgerm oil is a rich, golden-yellow carrier oil pressed from the kernel of the wheat grain, Triticum vulgare, with a distinctive wheaty scent and a dense, nourishing texture.

Spiritual meaning and traditional uses

Wheat has been cultivated since the earliest days of agriculture in the fertile crescent between the Mediterranean and the Persian Gulf, and its oil carries that long history of nourishment and sustenance. Naturally rich in vitamin E, wheatgerm oil is traditionally valued as an antioxidant-rich addition to skincare blends, and many people use it to help soften skin that feels dry or tired. Because it is such a rich, heavy oil, it is best combined with lighter carrier oils rather than used alone for massage.

How to use

• Blend a small amount with a lighter carrier oil before use on skin
• Use as an enriching addition to homemade skincare and massage blends
• Not suitable on its own as a massage base due to its rich texture
• Patch test on a small area before wider use
• Store in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight
