Refined 100ml

Escentia Refined Wheatgerm Oil is a nutrient-dense carrier oil cold-pressed from the germ of the wheat kernel and then refined for improved stability, lighter colour, and a milder scent compared to its unrefined counterpart. This 100ml bottle offers a versatile base oil rich in vitamin E, essential fatty acids, and natural antioxidants that support skin nourishment and repair.

Wheatgerm oil is renowned for its exceptionally high vitamin E content, one of the highest found in any natural oil. This makes it particularly well-suited for mature, dry, or damaged skin, where it may help improve elasticity and promote a smoother appearance. Its nourishing profile also makes it a popular choice for addressing stretch marks, scars, and rough patches of skin.

The refining process gives this oil a lighter texture and more neutral aroma, making it easier to blend with essential oils and other carrier oils in aromatherapy formulations. Due to its rich, slightly viscous consistency, wheatgerm oil is typically used as a 10–25% addition to lighter carrier oils such as sweet almond or grapeseed, rather than being applied neat in large quantities.

This carrier oil is also valued in DIY skincare preparations, including facial serums, body butters, massage blends, and lip balms, where it contributes moisturising and protective properties.

Please note that wheatgerm oil is derived from wheat and is not suitable for individuals with wheat or gluten sensitivities. Store in a cool, dark place to preserve freshness. For external use only.
