Wheat germ has long been considered the “heart” of the grain — a source of vital energy.

Egyptian queens are said to have used this oil in rejuvenating rituals, and in Mesopotamia it was appreciated for its traditional applications in skin care.

In the 19th century, European pharmacists included it in skin elixirs. Today, scientific research confirms it to be one of the richest natural sources of vitamin E.

This oil is obtained by cold pressing the germ of the grain, which contains up to 70% of the wheat’s nutrients.

Key components include:

Vitamin E (tocopherols): A potent antioxidant that, according to a 2017 study (Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology), may help neutralize free radicals and slow the visible signs of aging.

Linoleic and oleic acids (omega-6 and omega-9): Support the skin’s hydrolipid barrier and help prevent moisture loss.

Squalene and allantoin: Known for their soothing and calming properties, as highlighted in a 2019 study (Dermatology Research and Practice).

Minerals (zinc, iron, potassium): Contribute to cellular metabolism and support collagen synthesis.

For the skin:
  • Face: Helps soften dry and flaky skin, supports an even tone and texture. May reduce the appearance of fine lines and assist in protecting the skin from UV-related stress thanks to a mild barrier effect.
  • Body: May be beneficial for massage, supporting improved microcirculation and helping reduce the visibility of cellulite. May promote faster recovery of minor abrasions, burns, or post-operative marks.
  • Sensitive areas: Suitable for the delicate skin around the eyes and lips — moisturizes without leaving a greasy residue.
For hair:
  • Repair: Helps penetrate the hair structure and support damaged cuticles. May reduce breakage after coloring or chemical treatments.
  • Protection: Forms a lightweight protective film that helps shield hair from heat and sun exposure.
  • Scalp care: Supports balanced sebum production and may help reduce itching or flakiness.
Triticum Vulgare Germ Oil
Face/Body: Warm 2–3 drops between your fingers and gently pat onto clean skin. Can be used as a serum or under cream. Hair: Mask: Mix with burdock oil (1:1), apply to hair lengths for 40 minutes, then rinse with shampoo. Heat protection: Distribute 1–2 drops on damp strands before styling. Before sun or frost exposure: Apply a thin layer to protect the skin from environmental stress. You may enhance the effect by combining it with essential oils (such as lavender or chamomile) or adding it to ready-made creams (up to 10% of the total volume).
Individual intolerance may occur. Perform a patch test before first use. Not recommended for oily or combination skin due to high comedogenicity. Avoid use on open wounds or in cases of rosacea.
