WHEAT GERM GLYCERIDES Usage And Synthesis
Uses
wheat germ glycerides softens the skin and has good penetration ability. Wheat germ glycerides contain polyunsaturated fats, key for healthy skin. This mixture of mono-, di-, and triglycerides is produced by the transesterification of wheat germ oil, and is commonly used in moisturizers in concentrations of 0.1 to 5 percent. Although some sources indicate it may be irritating, safety tests show it to be non-sensitizing and non-irritating to the skin. It is considered by some to be somewhat comedogenic.
