Perilla Seed Oil
Description
Perilla Seed Oil (CAS 68132-21-8) is a cold-pressed or solvent-extracted vegetable oil derived from the seeds of Perilla frutescens, prized for its exceptionally high alpha-linolenic acid content.
It functions as a nutritional oil, skin-conditioning agent, and drying oil across food, cosmetic, and industrial coating applications. In functional food and dietary supplement formulations, it is used as an omega-3 source.
High ALA concentration is a label-driven selling point for this material. Cosmetic formulators incorporate it into facial serums, moisturizers, and hair care products where its skin-conditioning profile supports dry skin positioning.
In coatings and inks, the high degree of unsaturation makes it a natural drying oil suitable for alkyd resin production and oil-based paint systems. Pharmaceutical and nutraceutical manufacturers also use it as a carrier oil.
It is frequently utilized in softgel encapsulation and topical preparations. Perilla Seed Oil is supplied as a clear to pale yellow liquid, available in food-grade and cosmetic-grade specifications for various industries.
Cold-pressed and refined variants are both commercially available, with refined grades offering improved color and oxidative stability for industrial use. Bulk supply is standard in drums and IBC containers for global logistics.
Some suppliers offer organic-certified material for premium food and cosmetic markets. This versatile oil meets rigorous industry requirements for purity and performance across multiple manufacturing sectors and applications.
