What Is Triticum Aestivum Leaf Powder?
Triticum aestivum leaf powder, AKA wheatgrass powder, is a plant derived powder taken from the young leaves of the common wheat plant. It’s said to have antioxidant properties which might benefit skin.\n\nTriticum aestivum leaf powder contains flavonoids, phenolic compounds, vitamins (including vitamins A and C) and amino acids. These rich phytochemicals make it an interesting ingredient for usage in skin care formulations.\n\nAlthough more research is needed to provide sufficient evidence of the varying claims that surround this ingredient in skin care, it is thought that this plant-derived powder works to keep skin youthful, assisting in neutralizing the effects of harmful pro-ageing agents, like pollution and UV rays.
