View source for Wheat Germ Oil

'''Wheat germ oil''', (''Triticum vulgare''), comes from the seed of the wheat plant.  It is a very unstable oil when it is unrefined, known to degrade very quickly when exposed to extremes in temperature, oxidization and light.

It is high in antioxidants, which make it a common addition to cosmetic and body care products.  Wheat germ oil can also be found in the [[aftercare]] product [[Tattoo Goo]].

Suitable for cosmetic and food use, it should be avoided by those who have wheat and/or gluten allergies as this could have a dangerous adverse affect.

Wheat germ oil is brown in color and very heavy in liquid weight on its own.  It has a strong aroma, and is rich in [[Vitamin E]] oil and other minerals and proteins as well.<br>
