DESCRIPTION

Perilla seed oil is cold-pressed extracted from the Perilla frutescens, yielding an oil rich in essential fatty acids, primarily omega-3 fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid C18:3n-3, ALA for short. The ALA content of perilla seed oil typically ranges from 50-60% concentration, an exceptionally high content compared to many other vegetable carrier oils. After extraction, the oil is fully refined and exhibits a clear light yellow appearance with a bland aroma and flavor profile. Due to its naturally high content of alpha-linolenic acid, perilla seed oil is sought after for nutritional supplements as it may help reduce various health risks and promote overall human health. In addition to the nutraceutical realm, perilla seed oil is utilized in topical skincare formulations such as facial creams, serums, and products targeting problematic skin types. Perilla seed oil finds other uses such as in industrial applications as a lubricant and manufacturing inks and paint, along with the production of animal and bird feed.
