Wheatgerm oil is very nourishing and is high in essential fatty acids and vitamin E. It can help improve the appearance of skin and to soothe the skin after sun damage. It can be applied externally to soothe various irritations including roughness of the skin and wrinkling.
Wheatgerm oil may be too sticky to use on its own so it as a massage oil, but it can be mixed with other carrier oils for a smoother blend.
Packaging - See our blog on our commitment to sustainable packaging.
Our carrier oils come in amber glass bottles with 28mm neck in volumes:
30ml, 50ml, 100ml, *250ml.
Larger volumes must be packaged in plastic as glass becomes too dangerous to ship.
500ml: Amber PET plastic bottle with 28mm neck.
1L and 5L: PET white plastic jerrycans.
*on occasion, i.e. when ordered alone, 250ml may be packaged in PET amber plastic to save on shipping costs.
