Whats the difference between natural vitamin E from wheat germ and wheat germ oil?
Wheat germ oil is a popular skincare ingredient. It is high in vitamin E, contains vitamin A, vitamin D and several B vitamins and is a good source of essential fatty acids. However, it can turn rancid if not kept in a refrigerator or if exposed to sunlight. Wheat germ oil is yellow in colour and has a strong odour. Although wheat germ oil is high in vitamin E, it is not vitamin E. Vitamin E is a clear, sticky, odourless oil. The chemical name for vitamin E is Tocopherol. It’s this natural, unrefined vitamin E, sourced from wheat germ that we use in Super Natural 20% Vitamin E Balancing Facial Oil.
