Perilla Ocymoides Seed Oil
What Perilla Ocymoides Seed Oil is & what it does
Perilla Ocymoides Seed Oil is a plant oil pressed from the seeds of the perilla (shiso) plant, naturally rich in omega-3 alpha-linolenic acid and other unsaturated fatty acids. In skincare it acts as an emollient that softens and conditions the skin while reinforcing the lipid barrier. Its high level of polyunsaturated fats gives it a light, fast-absorbing feel but also makes it prone to oxidation, so it is often paired with antioxidants. It is commonly used in moisturizers and soothing botanical formulas.
