PERILLA
Perilla frutescens oil is derived from cold expeller processing of the plant’s seeds, producing an organic oil that is rich in vitamins and amino acids. Whereas camellia oil is high in oleic acid, perilla oil is high in alpha-linolenic acid (58%), an omega-3 fatty acid that is also found in walnuts, flax seeds, chia seeds and hemp seeds. The high alpha-linolenic acid content helps lock in skin and hair moisture, prevent skin dehydration, and help in treatment of skin disorders such as eczema and psoriasis. In recent studies, perilla frutescens’ anticarcinogenic effects have been shown to be due to the oil’s inhibition of the inflammatory response and scavenging of free radicals.
Perilla oil’s luxurious texture gives plant2body’s Nourishing Serum a silky smooth feel, leaving skin smooth, supple and radiant, without feeling greasy.
