Product Information

Full details

Absolute Aromas Wheatgerm Oil is a deeply nourishing, nutrient-rich carrier oil ideal for individuals with dry, damaged, or mature skin. Its primary benefit is its potent blend of essential fatty acids, minerals, and antioxidants, particularly Vitamin E, which work to soothe, heal, and revitalize the skin. A key consideration is its thick consistency, making it best used diluted with other carrier oils, and the necessity to avoid use by those with wheat allergies.

FAQs

What is Wheatgerm Oil used for?

Wheatgerm Oil is a rich carrier oil used primarily for skincare and hair care. It's known for its nourishing, moisturizing, and antioxidant properties, making it ideal for dry, damaged, or mature skin, and for improving hair health.

How should I dilute Wheatgerm Oil?

We recommend a maximum dilution of 10% Wheatgerm Oil to 90% of another base or carrier oil. This helps manage its thick consistency and allows for easier application.

Can I use Wheatgerm Oil if I have sensitive skin?

While nourishing, Wheatgerm Oil can be quite rich. It's advisable to perform a patch test on a small area of skin first, especially if you have sensitive skin. Diluting it with a milder carrier oil is also recommended.

Who should avoid using Wheatgerm Oil?

Individuals with a wheat allergy must avoid this oil entirely, as it is derived from wheat germ. Always check ingredients if you have known allergies.

What is the origin of this Wheatgerm Oil?

This Wheatgerm Oil is sourced from Argentina and is 100% natural, vegan, GMO-free, and cruelty-free, extracted via a cold-pressed method.

What does 'less refined' mean for the oil's color and nutrients?

A less refined oil means it has undergone fewer processing steps, resulting in a darker color. This typically indicates a higher concentration of natural nutrients and active compounds, such as Vitamin E and antioxidants.

How long does Wheatgerm Oil typically last?

When stored properly in a cool, dark place, Wheatgerm Oil usually has a shelf life of 1-2 years. Always refer to the expiry date on the product packaging for the most accurate information.

Troubleshooting

Skin irritation or reaction

Discontinue use immediately. Ensure you do not have a wheat allergy. Perform a patch test on a small area of skin before further application. If irritation persists, consult a healthcare professional.

Oil feels too thick or heavy

Dilute the Wheatgerm Oil further with a lighter carrier oil (e.g., jojoba, almond, grapeseed oil) at a ratio of 10% Wheatgerm Oil or less.

Unpleasant aroma

The natural nutty aroma is characteristic. Try blending it with essential oils that have a scent you prefer, or use it in applications where the aroma is less noticeable, such as overnight hair treatments.

Product darkens or separates over time

This is normal for less refined oils and indicates high nutrient content. Ensure the product is stored correctly in a cool, dark place. Separation can often be resolved by gently warming the bottle in a bowl of warm water (do not heat directly) and shaking well.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Wheatgerm oil is a ready-to-use carrier oil. No setup is required. It is typically blended with other carrier oils or essential oils before application.

Compatibility:

  • Skin Types: Best suited for dry, damaged, mature, or weathered skin. Avoid use on oily or acne-prone skin unless heavily diluted and patch-tested.
  • Allergies: Crucially, avoid use if you have a wheat allergy. A patch test is recommended before widespread application.
  • Blends: Compatible with most other carrier oils and essential oils. Recommended dilution ratio is a maximum of 10% Wheatgerm Oil to 90% other base/carrier oil.

Care:

  • Storage: Store in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat to preserve its potency. Keep the cap tightly closed.
  • Shelf Life: Typically has a shelf life of 1-2 years when stored correctly. Check the product packaging for specific expiry dates.
  • Cleaning: If the oil spills, clean the area with a suitable cleaner for the surface. The oil itself does not require cleaning, but the bottle should be kept clean externally.
