Jennifer says…

“Perilla Seed Oil is a beautiful premium oil when you want a lightweight, omega-rich profile without the heaviness of more traditional nourishing oils. I would treat it as a delicate, high-value oil—protect it with antioxidants, keep processing gentle, and use it where its elegant skin feel can really be noticed.
