Virgin Wheat Germ Oil – 100% Raw, Cold-Pressed Carrier Oil
A Practitioner's Approach to Raw, Cold-Pressed Care
ProSeed Wellness Virgin Wheat Germ Oil is a rich, single-ingredient oil for skin and hair care. Mechanically cold-processed from non-GMO wheat germ, it is unrefined, unfiltered, and bottled to order in small batches.
Its golden-amber color, earthy toasted-grain aroma, and cushiony texture bring the character of a raw botanical oil to your daily routine. Warm a small amount between your palms and smooth onto damp skin or dry hair ends for a soft, dewy finish.

Full Ingredient List
- Triticum Vulgare (Wheat) Germ Oil — 100% Pure, Unrefined, Cold-Pressed.
- Zero fillers, zero synthetic preservatives (no synthetic dl-alpha-tocopheryl acetate)
Key Active Nutrients
- Natural Alpha-Tocopherol (Vitamin E): Delivers the highest natural concentration of Vitamin E in any plant oil to neutralize free radicals, support cellular repair, and soften scar tissue.
- Octacosanol: A unique long-chain fatty alcohol found naturally in wheat germ that supports skin elasticity and moisture barrier strength.
- Essential Fatty Acid Profile:Linoleic Acid (Omega-6) ~55%: Replenishes essential barrier lipids to stop trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL).Oleic Acid (Omega-9) ~15%: Transports nutrients deeply into coarse hair follicles and rough, chapped areas.Palmitic Acid ~17%: Provides surface cushion and defense against moisture depletion.
Intensive Nighttime Face Repair
- Invert the bottle against a clean fingertip or pour a dime-sized drop into your palm.
- Rub palms together to warm the oil, then gently press into clean, damp skin as the final step in your evening routine to lock in hydration.
- Ideal for: Stubborn acne/surgical marks, cracked cuticles, and dehydrated skin patches.
Scalp & Hair Density Treatment
- Pre-Wash Scalp Mask: Part dry hair and massage 1/2 teaspoon into the scalp and through rough, damaged ends. Leave on for 30–45 minutes (or overnight) before washing with a clarifying shampoo.
- Split End Sealant: Warm a single micro-drop between fingertips and glide over towel-dried ends to tame coarse frizz and defend against heat.
Target Body & Stretch Mark Care
- Massage directly into stretch marks, dry elbows, or recovering scars twice daily, ideally right after showering when skin is most receptive to lipid absorption.
Aroma: Raw, nutty, and distinctly earthy with notes of toasted grain. We never bleach or deodorize our oil; the rich scent confirms that the heat-sensitive natural compounds remain fully intact.
Texture & Weight: Rich, dense, and cushiony. Wheat germ is one of nature’s most viscous, lipid-heavy oils.
Color: Deep, unfiltered golden-amber. Natural cloudiness or micro-botanical sediment indicates unstripped tocopherols and raw plant waxes.
Finish & Absorption: Melts into the skin to form a restorative, protective lipid shield. Absorbs steadily over 15–20 minutes without a synthetic silicone slip, leaving a dewy, luminous glow.
Why doesn’t this 4 oz bottle include a dropper?
Dropper bulbs continually push outside oxygen into the bottle with every squeeze, which rapidly oxidizes fresh cold-pressed oils. Furthermore, potent, unrefined plant oils break down porous rubber over several months of use. We package exclusively in UV-protective amber glass with airtight screw caps to preserve freshness and active potency.
Will this oil clog pores or cause breakouts?
Wheat germ oil has a rich profile (comedogenic rating 4–5), making it best suited for dry, mature, barrier-compromised, or scarred skin. If your skin is blemish-prone, we recommend using it for targeted scar application, eye area care, and hair routines, or blending a few drops into a lighter carrier oil like Jojoba or Rosehip.
Why does this smell and look darker than cosmetic store wheat germ oils?
Commercial oils undergo solvent extraction (often using hexane), followed by chemical bleaching and steam deodorization to make them clear and odorless. ProSeed is raw, mechanically pressed, and unfiltered. The deep amber color and earthy, toasted grain aroma are natural indicators of unstripped tocopherols.
Can someone with gluten sensitivity use this topically?
While pure oil pressed from the germ does not inherently contain gluten proteins found in the grain's endosperm, trace exposure can occur during small-batch pressing. If you have celiac disease, dermatitis herpetiformis, or a severe wheat allergy, consult your practitioner and perform a 24-hour patch test on the inner forearm before full use.
How long does this 4 oz bottle stay fresh once opened?
Stored upright in a cool, dry place away from direct heat and sunlight, the naturally occurring Vitamin E protects the oil against rapid rancidity, giving it an active shelf life of 12 months after opening.
