Functions
Bleaching
Skin Conditioning
A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.
Skin Protecting
Helps rebuild and strengthen your skin barrier — the invisible shield that keeps moisture in and irritants out. Essential after over-exfoliating or harsh weather.
Nourishes & Protects
Traditional Use
Wheat germ, the nutrient-dense embryo of the wheat kernel, has been used since ancient times as a nutritive and skin-conditioning ingredient, valued for its high vitamin E and protein content.
