Wheat Germ Oil
Wheat germ oil is extracted from the germ of the wheat grain. It contains 60% polyunsaturated fatty acids, nearly 90% of which are valuable omega-3 fatty acids. It is one of the plant oils with the highest content of tocopherols (vitamin E), as well as phospholipids, phytosterols, and carotenoids, making it ideal for caring for mature, barrier-impaired, and dull, poorly circulated skin. In addition to its strong antioxidant effect, wheat germ oil promotes circulation and skin elasticity, strengthens the natural protective barrier, and reduces transepidermal water loss. It penetrates very deeply and slowly into the skin, has strong lipid-replenishing properties, and forms a protective film that prevents the skin from drying out. It also soothes and regenerates sensitive, damaged, or allergy-prone skin.
