Research has shown that when carrier oils are made with fresh herbs (like ours), they deliver 100% of their potential properties, unlike commercial oils made with dried herbs that yield only about 50%!
Wheat Germ Oil (from Triticum vulgare) is known as the carrier oil with the highest vitamin E content. It is often referred to as wheat embryo oil. Wheat germ oil helps rebuild skin tissue, prevents dryness, and is a powerful natural antioxidant. It also contains vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B6, C, D, F, proteins, and trace minerals. Typically, in massage products, it is used at a concentration of 10-20% in almond oil, grape seed oil, or peach kernel oil. Even at just 1% (due to its high vitamin E content), it helps other carrier oils maintain their properties for a longer period, effectively acting as a natural preservative.
Wheat Germ Oil is an ideal ingredient for facial and hair care products, lip balms, and natural soaps. Use it on its own or in combination with essential oils. It is particularly suited for the care of mature skin.
Wheat Germ Oil can be used alone or in combination with other carrier oils for even better results. It’s also important to note that carrier oils are essential in aromatherapy as they serve as the "carrier" for essential oils.
