Triticum Vulgare Germ Oil

Wheat germ oil is a vegetable oil obtained by cold pressing and without solvents of the embryo of the caryopsis (noble part of the grain) of soft wheat or wheat. Wheat is a plant cultivated by man since ancient times for food purposes. This vegetable oil appears as a thick liquid, yellow in color tending towards ocher and with a pleasant taste, it is used both as a natural supplement, as a condiment in daily nutrition, perhaps mixed with olive oil, and for cosmetic use. From a ton of wheat it is possible to obtain, through a cold pressure extraction process, a kilo of oil. This method preserves all its active ingredients, guaranteeing the maximum content of Vitamin E, a fat-soluble and heat-sensitive vitamin, which could be destroyed with chemical solvents and high temperatures. The high concentration of Vitamin E makes wheat germ oil particularly suitable for nourishing dry skin, protecting parched skin from external agents such as wind, sun, cold; and as an elixir of youth for mature skin. It nourishes and restructures the tissues, because it reinforces the insufficient hydrolipidic film, the lack of which causes cracking, peeling and irritation. If mixed together with sweet almond oil, in order to make it more absorbable, and massaged on still damp skin, it exerts an emollient and restorative action, especially after sun exposure or in the case of very dry skin, which flakes or that "pulls". Ideal for preventing stretch marks, during pregnancy and breastfeeding; during and after slimming treatments to firm and restore tone and vigor to withered and tired skin.
