TRITICUM VULGARE (WHEAT) GERM EXTRACT

Wheat germ extract

Wheat is a grain variety, rich in useful substances. It contains linoleic acid (omega-6), palmitic acid, oleinic acid and linoleic acid (omega-3) vitamin E, vitamin B9, vitamin B1, phosphorus, zinc and magnesium. It has been proven that germinated grains and their sprouts contain several times more of these useful substances. Wheat extract contains a big concentration of vitamin E, compared to other plant oils, which explains its main use in cosmetology - taking care of mature skin.
