This is an oil rich in vitamin E, which is excellent for ageing skin because the natural antioxidants can help to counter the attack of free radicals.

Wheatgerm oil is also a useful ingredient in hair care products thanks to its mineral and protein content.  Good for use on dehydrated skin.  Adding a small amount to less stable oils can prevent them from going rancid too quickly.  Use up to 10% in creams, lotions, balms, ointments and soaps etc.
