Organic Perilla Vegetable Oil

Perilla oil is one of the most concentrated plant-based sources of alpha-linolenic acid, providing nourishing and protective care for the skin barrier that is particularly suitable for dry, reactive, and redness-prone skin. Extracted by cold-pressing the seeds of Perilla frutescens, an aromatic plant native to Southeast Asia, it contains 55-65% plant-based omega-3, one of the richest profiles among cosmetic vegetable oils. 50ml. Organic Ecocert. Herbes et Traditions.

Cosmetic profile and properties

• Exceptionally rich in alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3, 55-65%): perilla oil is one of the two or three vegetable oils richest in plant-based omega-3, alongside flax and hemp. This essential fatty acid plays a fundamental role in restoring the skin's hydrolipidic barrier.
• Care for dry and reactive skin: its high omega-3 content makes it a prime active ingredient for skin prone to eczema, very dry skin, and skin lacking suppleness and comfort.
• Eye and lip contour care: its relative lightness and richness in polyunsaturated fats make it a suitable treatment for the eye contour and dry lips.
• 50ml: Organic Ecocert. Herbes et Traditions.

FAQ

Why should perilla oil be stored in the refrigerator?
With 55-65% omega-3, it is one of the most unstable vegetable oils regarding oxidation. Heat and light rapidly degrade polyunsaturated fatty acids. Storing it in the refrigerator from the moment it is opened ensures the quality of the active ingredients throughout its usage period.

Can perilla oil replace flaxseed oil in cosmetics?
Yes, both have comparable omega-3 profiles. Flaxseed oil (55-65% omega-3) and perilla oil (55-65% omega-3) are interchangeable for most cosmetic applications. Perilla has a slightly different scent and similar stability.

Is perilla suitable for oily skin?
Yes, omega-3s play a restorative role for the skin barrier, which is useful even for reactive oily skin. Dilute it 20-30% in jojoba oil to lighten the texture for combination to oily skin.
