Cosmetic oil Wheat germ 30ml - Botanika

The product is a pressed wheat germ oil rich in vitamin E, lecithin and phytosterols. Because it is lipid‑based, a very small amount (a few drops) is enough to coat the hair shaft. Apply the oil to the mid‑lengths and ends after washing, massaging gently until the oil is fully absorbed. The lipids create a protective film that reduces moisture loss, while vitamin E acts as an antioxidant, helping to shield the hair from environmental stress. Lecithin and phytosterols improve spreadability, leaving the strands supple rather than greasy. This coating smooths the cuticle, reduces frizz and gives a softer feel without weighing the hair down. If the hair is especially dry, the oil can be left on overnight, but normal use is a few drops each wash.

The oil can be used on the face, especially where dryness or reduced elasticity is noticeable, such as around stretch‑prone areas. Because it is rich in vitamin E, it helps protect the skin from external stress that can make it feel tight and look dull. A pea‑sized amount is usually sufficient; gently massage into clean, dry skin and allow it to absorb for several minutes before applying other products. The lipid layer formed by the oil reduces transepidermal water loss, helping the skin stay hydrated longer. Lecithin and phytosterols ensure the oil spreads evenly and feel supple, not greasy. For best results, use it as an evening step on mature‑looking or dry skin, and follow with a lighter moisturizer if the skin feels heavy. Avoid the eye area unless the user tolerates it well.

If your skin is oily or tends to congest, start with a minimal amount—about a drop—and perform a patch test on the jawline for 24 hours. Discontinue use if any tightness, redness or breakouts appear. The oil’s dense lipid profile can feel heavy on skin that already produces excess sebum, potentially worsening congestion. In such cases, blend a small portion of this oil with a lighter cosmetic oil to reduce the overall richness while still gaining the vitamin E benefits. Keep the product in a cool, dark place to preserve its antioxidant properties. Should irritation develop, stop applying immediately and cleanse the area. This oil is not a treatment for acne or other skin conditions; it is intended for hydration and comfort only. Consult a dermatologist if you have chronic skin issues or are using medication that affects skin sensitivity.
