TRITICUM VULGARE OIL
INCI: Triticum vulgare germ oil
What is Triticum vulgare germ oil?
Triticum vulgare germ oil is obtained from the plant Triticum vulgare, of the family Graminaceae. It is commonly known as a wheat plant. The wheat plant is one of the most abundantly cultivated crops throughout the world. It is one of the most abundantly eaten cereals in the world. Apart from being used in food, the seeds are also used for their medicinal properties. Two parts of the seed, namely the bran—the outer covering of the seed—and the germ, the part of the seed that will grow into a new plant, are used. The oil obtained from the germ of the seed is a clear, yellow liquid with a grain-like odor. It is rich in essential nutrients like vitamin E, fatty acids, octacosanol, and some other nutrients. It is used in medicines and also as a useful ingredient in cosmetic products.
Use & Benefits:
- Emollient Properties: Triticum vulgare germ extract acts as an emollient, forming a thin film on the surface of the skin to maintain moisture and smoothness.
- Skin Barrier Protection: It creates a barrier that shields the skin from allergens, bacteria, and irritants, preventing skin disorders such as acne, eczema, dryness, and itching.
- Gap Filling: As an emollient, it fills the gaps between dead cells and helps maintain the lipid barrier for healthier skin.
- Moisture Retention: Helps to maintain moisture in the skin, enhancing its softness, smoothness, and overall health.
- Hair Protection: When applied to hair, it forms a protective layer that keeps it hydrated and conditioned.
- Cosmetic Ingredient: Used in the formulation of creams, lotions, gels, makeup, and other skin and hair care products.
