Umuthi Wheatgerm Oil - Cold Pressed is a 100% pure cold-pressed botanical oil from Triticum vulgare . It is a rich skin-nourishing oil valued for its high natural vitamin E content and use in oil-based skincare, body oils, balms, and mature-skin formulations. Wheatgerm oil is also sometimes used in formulations as a natural antioxidant-supporting ingredient. This South African product is a practical choice for makers wanting a richer carrier oil for dry, cracked, mature-looking, or stretch-mark focused body care products.
♡ Why we love it: Wheatgerm oil is a wonderfully nourishing ingredient when a blend needs richness and care. It is especially useful in body oils, balms, and mature-skin products where a vitamin-rich botanical oil is part of the formulation story.

Its very hard to get it out of the bottle. I pour it straight. But I love it so much. Thank you.
I was looking for Wheatgerm oil for ingesting purposes that also complies to the recommended daily intake for adults, which are scarce in South Africa. I called Umuthi directly to confirm whether it is safe to use internally, it was confirmed that if the oil looks golden brown and not pink then its safe for ingesting. The one delivered by Essentially Natural was golden brown. This product has served its purpose exactly as I needed it to.
