Triticum aestivum (Wheat) Germ Extract

Triticum aestivum (Wheat) Germ Extract (CAS 84012-44-2) is derived from the germ fraction of wheat grain and concentrated for use in personal care and food applications. It delivers antioxidant activity and moisture-retention benefits to finished formulations.

This extract helps extend product stability and support skin conditioning performance in various industrial applications. In skincare and haircare products, it functions as a conditioning and moisturizing agent in creams, serums, and lotions.

It is frequently used in leave-in treatments where sustained hydration is a primary formulation target. Antioxidant-rich preparations, particularly anti-aging and restorative face products, incorporate it to help protect formulations and support skin barrier function.

In food and nutritional products, it is used as a functional ingredient in health-oriented foods and supplements. It is ideal for fortified formulations where natural antioxidant content is a label-relevant attribute for the consumer market.

Cosmetic manufacturers also use it in scalp treatments and hair masks to address dryness and improve texture. Triticum aestivum Germ Extract is supplied as a liquid extract or oil-dispersible concentrate for diverse manufacturing needs.

Water-soluble and lipophilic variants are available depending on the intended carrier system. Cosmetic-grade and food-grade specifications are the standard commercial forms, often meeting FCC or USP requirements depending on the batch.

Concentration levels in carrier oils or aqueous bases vary by supplier, so buyers should confirm standardization against active markers. This ensures consistency when sourcing for functional applications in large-scale chemical production.
