Wheat germ oil is extracted from the seeds of the Carthamus tinctorius plant, specifically from the most nutrient-rich part of the wheat grain. Obtained by cold pressing to preserve its properties, the oil is rich in vitamins E and K, potassium, mineral salts and unsaturated fats, which makes it valuable in the cosmetic and therapeutic industries. It is used to moisturize and protect the skin, treat burns, acne, psoriasis and as a moisturizer for cuticles.

It also improves the appearance and health of hair, helping with hair growth and preventing hair loss. In addition to its topical uses, wheat germ oil can be ingested, contributing to circulatory health, reducing blood sugar, treating infertility, and regulating hormones. However, it should be consumed with caution and under medical supervision.
