Description

Wheat Gern Oil is a natural vegetable oil derived from the germ of the wheat kernel. This high-value oil is prized for its rich content of bioactive compounds, including vitamin E (tocopherols), essential fatty acids, and phytosterols, which contribute to its potent antioxidant and moisturizing properties. It serves as a premium functional ingredient for manufacturers in the cosmetics, nutraceutical, and specialty chemical industries seeking natural, skin-nourishing, and stabilizing components for their formulations.

Quality Control

Our Wheat Gern Oil is produced and handled under strict quality management systems. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets specifications for key parameters such as peroxide value, acid value, tocopherol content, and fatty acid profile. Certificates of Analysis (COA) confirming identity, purity, and compliance with relevant standards are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at temperatures between 15-25°C (59-77°F). Due to its nature of being easily oxidized, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation and to minimize contact with air after opening.
