Wheat Germ Oil Benefits & Uses for the skin & hair in Ayurveda.
It is used in many natural, herbal formulations as it is highly nourishing and moisturising for mature, aging and excessively dry skin. Vitamins and fatty acids present in this emollient help repair cracked, scarred skin, while restoring its even tone. It is an excellent source of antioxidants which helps in improving blood circulation and repairing skin cells which are often damaged by the UV rays. Wheat Germ Oil is well known for its humectant property, which seals the moisture into the skin and helps in removing excess sebum or oil production that leads to acne and pimples. Enriched with Linoleic Acid, Wheat Germ Oil for hair and scalp is considered extremely good as it maintains good scalp health, stimulates healthy hair growth, while restoring the moisture content in the strands and keeping them soft and lustrous.
