Overview
["ProSeed's Handmade Raw Wheat Germ Oil comes in a 240 ml (8 oz) glass bottle priced at $29.99. It is described as virgin, unfiltered, cold-pressed, and non-GMO, and is marketed as high in vitamin E and omega fatty acids for use on hair, face, skin, and body.", 'Wheat germ oil is a well-known carrier oil in natural skin care, valued for its nutrient density, but it also has a naturally heavy texture and a strong, nutty scent because it is unrefined. Many people blend a small amount into lighter oils rather than applying it alone on the face.', 'The product holds a 4.5-star average across 262 reviews, a solid track record. However, the listing shows 0 units reported bought in the past month, and only 14 units left in stock, suggesting recent demand has slowed even though the historical rating remains strong.']

Performance notes
Wheat germ oil is naturally rich in vitamin E and fatty acids, which is why it is prized as a nutrient-dense carrier oil. Because it is thicker and more strongly scented than many facial oils, it is typically blended at a small percentage into a lighter oil rather than used alone directly on the face.
What buyers say
A 4.5-star average across 262 reviews shows a genuinely satisfied customer base built up over time. That said, a reported 0 units bought in the past month is a notable dip, worth weighing against the otherwise strong historical rating when deciding whether current stock and demand line up with your needs.

Frequently asked questions
Can I apply wheat germ oil directly to my face?
You can, but many people find raw wheat germ oil too heavy and strongly scented to use alone on the face. A common approach is blending a small amount into a lighter carrier or facial oil rather than applying it at full strength.
Why does this oil have such a strong smell?
Because it is raw and unfiltered rather than refined, it retains more of the natural scent of the wheat germ itself. Refined oils are typically processed to reduce odor, so an unrefined oil like this will smell noticeably more like its source material.
Should I be concerned that 0 units sold in the past month?
A reported 0 units bought in the past month is a low signal, but it doesn't cancel out the product's solid 4.5-star rating built across 262 reviews. It may reflect timing or seasonality rather than a change in quality, though it is worth factoring in if strong recent demand matters to you.
