Definition 

1. Scientific name: Perilla Seed Oil; also known as perilla oil or purple perilla seed oil. 
2. Raw material: Perilla seeds (wild varieties contain about 30% oil, while cultivated varieties can reach up to 60%) 
3. Extraction: The mainstream method is cold-pressing at low temperatures (≤40°C, preserving bioactive compounds), though hot-pressing and refining processes are also used. 
4. Appearance: Light yellow to pale green, clear and transparent, with a delicate perilla fragrance or nutty aroma; the texture is slightly moist but not greasy. 

Nutritional Information (per 100 g) 

1. Fatty Acid Composition (Core Competency) 
• Alpha-linolenic acid (Omega‑3): 60%–70% (average 65%), an essential fatty acid that can be converted into DHA/EPA, supporting brain health, cardiovascular protection, and anti‑inflammatory effects. 
• Linoleic acid (Omega-6): 12%–18%, an essential fatty acid that helps repair the skin and regulate blood lipids. 
• Oleic acid (Omega‑9): 10%–15%, a monounsaturated fatty acid that supports vascular health and provides antioxidant benefits. 
• Saturated fatty acids (palmitic acid + stearic acid): 5%–8%, an extremely low proportion, making it health‑friendly. 
• Omega-3 to Omega-6 ratio ≈ 4:1, an optimal balance that outperforms most vegetable oils. 
2. Active ingredients (distinct from ordinary oils) 
• Vitamin E (tocopherol): 15–20 mg; a potent antioxidant that slows lipid oxidation and protects cells. 
• Phytosterols: 200–300 mg, inhibit cholesterol absorption and help regulate blood lipids. 
• Rosmarinic acid, perillaldehyde, and polyphenols: anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, antibacterial, and antioxidant 
• 18 amino acids + calcium, iron, zinc, and selenium: replenishes trace elements and boosts immunity.

Product Efficacy 

1. Brain-Boosting and Eye-Protecting (Most Prominent) 
• Alpha-linolenic acid is converted into DHA/EPA, promoting neuronal synapse growth and retinal development. 
• Enhance infants’ and young children’s IQ, improve adult memory, delay the onset of senile dementia, and protect vision. 
• Relieves eye fatigue and dryness, and helps prevent myopia and macular degeneration. 
2. Cardiovascular Protection (Core Value) 
• Reduces triglycerides and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, increases high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, and helps regulate blood lipids. 
• Inhibits platelet aggregation, reduces blood viscosity, and helps prevent thrombosis, myocardial infarction, and cerebral infarction. 
• Helps maintain stable blood pressure, improve vascular elasticity, and prevent atherosclerosis. 
3. Anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic 
• Rosmarinic acid + α‑linolenic acid inhibit inflammatory cytokines and reduce the release of allergic mediators (such as leukotrienes) 
• Alleviates allergic rhinitis, asthma, skin allergies, eczema, and urticaria 
• Improves rheumatoid arthritis, intestinal inflammation, and chronic inflammation 
4. Liver Protection and Fat Reduction 
• Promotes fat metabolism, inhibits lipogenesis, and helps prevent fatty liver and alcoholic liver disease. 
• Assists in hepatocyte repair, alleviates liver injury, and promotes bile secretion. 
• Helps regulate blood sugar, improve insulin resistance, and manage body weight 
5. Antioxidant and Anti-Aging 
• Vitamin E + polyphenols scavenge free radicals, reduce oxidative stress, and delay cellular aging. 
• Can be used both internally and externally to improve skin tone, lighten dark spots, reduce wrinkles, and firm the skin. 
• Repairs the skin barrier, provides long-lasting hydration, and improves dryness, sensitivity, and acne. 
6. Other auxiliary functions 
• Promotes bowel movements, relieves constipation, and enhances digestion and nutrient absorption 
• Regulates the endocrine system, alleviates menstrual discomfort, and relieves menopausal symptoms 
• Boosts immunity, helps prevent colds, and supports anti-tumor effects (inhibits cancer cell proliferation) 

Application Areas 

1. Food and health supplement sector 
• Premium edible oil: suitable for cold salads, low-temperature drizzling, direct consumption, and dipping. 
• Dietary supplements: softgels and liquid formulations, primarily designed to provide Omega‑3 fatty acids, support brain health, and promote cardiovascular well-being. 
• Food processing: baking, salad dressings, margarine, and infant/complementary foods—enhancing nutritional value and stability. 
2. Cosmetics sector 
• Skincare: face creams, serums, lotions, and repair creams, with key benefits including antioxidant protection, hydration, anti-inflammatory action, barrier restoration, and the reduction of dark spots. 
• Hair care: hair oil, conditioner—strengthens hair strands, improves dryness and split ends, and enhances shine. 
• Body care: massage oils and body lotions that soothe the skin, reduce dryness, and help fade stretch marks and scars. 
3. Pharmaceutical Field 
• Hepatoprotective adjunct: Used in combination with silymarin for the adjunctive treatment of fatty liver, alcoholic liver disease, and drug-induced liver injury. 
• Anti-allergy medications: relieve allergic rhinitis, asthma, and skin allergies 
• Cardiovascular adjunctive medications: regulate blood lipids, prevent thrombosis, and assist in lowering blood pressure.
