Wheat Germ Oil
Wheatgerm Carrier Oil is one of the richest carrier oils in vitamins A, B, D, and E, Proteins and Lecithin. It is also an anti-oxidant. Wheatgerm carrier oil is used for extending the shelf life of other carrier oils as well. This oil sometimes may appear cloudy too, because it contains natural sediments of the oil. Sometimes, it is subsequently passed through filters for removal of sediments; otherwise too, it is good in use. For best results, it is recommended for use in dilution by addition of other carrier oils.
