Wheat Germ Oil 50ml

• The colour sits between clear orange and yellow, giving blends a warm, sunlit tone.
• The aroma is stronger than many neutral carrier oils, with a natural wheat-like character.
• The texture is very rich, so it is best treated as a concentrated addition rather than a main massage base.
• It suits small-batch blending, where a little depth and body are more useful than a long, slippery glide.
• Its naturally high vitamin E content is one reason wheatgerm oil is often valued in oil blends.

This is wheatgerm oil from Triticum vulgare, cold-pressed and sourced from the USA. Cold pressing is used to extract the oil without high heat, helping preserve the oil’s naturally rich character and distinctive colour.

Use it in small amounts when making body oils, facial oil blends or balms. Because the texture is very rich, it is not the best choice as the main base for massage oils.

Apply sparingly to clean skin, or mix it with lighter carrier oils if you want a softer, easier spread. Keep the bottle closed between uses and store it away from heat and direct light.

Wheat has a long agricultural story, with origins traced to the Fertile Crescent between the Mediterranean Sea and the Persian Gulf. From there it spread into temperate regions and became one of the world’s most important cultivated plants. Wheatgerm oil comes from the germ of the grain, the part associated with richness and nourishment in the plant itself. In modern aromatherapy and natural skincare blending, it is usually chosen for texture, body and its vitamin E content rather than for a neutral, barely-there feel.
