Wheatgerm

Wheatgerm oil is high in Vitamin E, which gives it powerful healing properties. Often included in a blend for its preserving and antioxidation properties. For this purpose up to 10% wheatgerm oil may be added to a blend. Helpful for ageing and dry skin types as well as broken capillaries. It is also an anti-scarring agent and can be used to reduce scar tissue after injury or operations. It can be helpful for facial scarring caused by severe cases of acne. Because of its thick, sticky quality it is best to use blended with either almond or grapeseed oil. Note: There are a number of people who are allergic to wheat, in which case wheatgerm oils should not be used.
