Perilla (perilla frutescene) is widely cultivated in China and the South East Asia, used to foodstuff or traditional medicine.
The functional compounds of PERILLA SEED EXTRACT LC are flavonoid aglycons, such as luteolin, apigenin, chrysoeriol and rosemarinic acid.
Though flavonoids are normally found in glucoside form, PERILLA SEED EXTRACT LC contains flavonoids in agrycon, which has a stronger antioxidant effect and better percutaneous absorbility than glucoside.
　

Particularly luteolin, through a recent study, has proved to be a most antioxidant flavonoid.
Main cause of skin aging is the tissue hurted by active oxygen.  Superoxide dismutase came to be known as an inhibitor of active oxygen, and new materials with SOD-like function have been looked for.
Conventional scavenger is either water soluble (Vitamin C) or oil soluble (Vitamin E) while PERILLA SEED EXTRACT LC imparts medium solubility.  Therefore it permeates skin well, working up efficacy immediately.
Lipid peroxide produced through oxidization of fatty acid in skin bolsters inflammation, allergic dermatitis and aging.  Active ingredients of PERILLA SEED EXTRACT LC inhibits peroxidization of lipid in combination with radical scavenging effect.
