Wheatgerm Oil
triticum
speices
This oil is thick, sticky and antioxidant.
It's very rich in vitamin E, a natural antioxidant.
Based on this, it can be added to other
carrier oils to act as a preservative.
Wheat germ oil can be used to nourish
dry or cracked skin and soothes skin problems such as
eczema and psoriasis; helps to prevent and reduce
scarring and may prevent stretch marks.
Mature skin, in particular, will benefit
from wheat germ oil.
It's known to be beneficial for tired muscles,
making a good base for after sport massage.
Some people use it as a preservative in vegetable oils,
soaps and toiletries, and others
totally disagree as to its preservative powers.
