About this product
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
A clear yellow oil with a mild aroma that is made from the seeds of Perilla Frutescens. The mild aroma disappears quickly, even when the oil is used neat on the skin. It has an amazingly high amount of Omega 3 which is rare in vegetable oils so it is best stored in the fridge to protect it.
- Use 1% to 100%.
- Oil soluble so cannot be used in water only products. It can be used in small amounts in water based gels that will hold it in suspension.
- Not heat stable so it should be used in Stage 3 (cool stage) when making creams and lotions. Store in a refrigerator if possible.
Perilla Seed Oil works very well with heavier oils like Macadamia Nut Oil to enhance the essential fatty acid profile with Omega 3 whilst making the overall texture lighter and more elegant on the skin.
