Botanical Name: Triticum vulgare
Extraction: Cold Pressed
Color: Golden yellow to amber brown liquid. Wheatgerm may be cloudy in appearance due to the presence of natural sediments found in the oil. The product is good to use but if desired, it can be subsequently filtered to remove any sediments.
Consistency: Typical of most carrier oils.
Aromatic Scent: Wheatgerm Carrier Oil has a distinct, earthy aroma that is pleasant, but that carries the risk of overpowering other aromas if not used in dilution.
Absorption: Wheatgerm Carrier Oil leaves an oily feeling on the skin, and should be used in dilution with other carrier oils for best results.
Safety: Users can expect a shelf life of 1 to 2 years with proper storage conditions (cool, out of direct sunlight). Refrigeration after opening is recommended.
Disclaimer: Please note, the International Federation of Aromatherapists do not recommend that Essential Oils, Carrier Oils, or Hydrosols be taken internally unless under the supervision of a Medical Doctor who is also qualified in clinical Aromatherapy.
