Perilla Seed Oil

Perilla seed oil comes from the plant Perilla frutescent, a species of the mint family Lamiaceae

This lesser known oil can make a great addition to your skincare oils and creams, it is a fine, ‘dry’ oil that is easily absorbed into the skin.

Properties include:

• High amounts of the skin-loving omega-3 essential fatty acid  and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA).
• Anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, antioxidant, and anti-allergic qualities due to being naturally rich in polyphenols.
• Beneficial to all skin types from anti-ageing through to sun damaged skin.

Perilla seed oil is a wonderful addition to facial oil and serum formulations for ageing skin and problematic skin. It is also excellent in body oils and face products for drier complexions.
