Virgin Wheatgerm is a rich oil, particularly high in vitamin E. Wheatgerm oil is a very nourishing oil particularly suited for dry, damaged and mature skin. Vitamin E is one of the most powerful natural antioxidants helping to combat the emergence of free radicals and other damaging elements in the skin. Virgin wheatgerm is the oil exactly as it comes cold pressed from the fruit. It has a stronger odour than refined oil and is also cloudier in appearance as minute particles of the grain are present in the oil. Virgin wheatgerm is usually the preferred oil for cold food and as a dietary supplement.
