Due to the heaviness of Wheatgerm Oil it is generally diluted into another carrier oil like Almond or Apricot Kernel Oil. Wheatgerm keeps the skin supple and nourished, ideal for dry skin types and pregnant women. The oil is well reputed for its ability to assist in skin repair and healing, making it a useful base for cuts and minor burns.

Wheatgerm is a rich source of Vitamin E, which is an antioxidant. Antioxidants prevent oxidation and counteract free radical activity. Free radicals damage the skin by attacking cell membranes.
