BOM Just One Perilla Frutescens Leaf Extract is a single-ingredient botanical essence built around one star: 92.5% perilla leaf extract from freshly harvested perilla grown in Namwon, Jeollanam-do, South Korea. The Just One line keeps formulas pared back, using EWG green-grade herbal extracts and minimal preservatives so the plant does the talking. The watery, lightweight texture sinks in quickly and leaves a comfortable, hydrated feel, which makes it a calming addition to a sensitive or dry skin routine.
What's in it
The extract is 100% botanical and certified vegan, with no animal-derived ingredients and no animal testing. Perilla is naturally rich in omega-3 fatty acids and contains rosmarinic acid, along with perillaldehyde and EAP (an unsaturated fatty acid). It's drawn out using a slow, low-temperature method over roughly 20 hours, similar to the way a traditional herbal infusion is prepared, to keep more of the plant's active compounds intact.
What it does for skin
This is a comfort-first essence. The high omega-3 content helps skin feel more hydrated and looks calmer and more even, which is why it suits dry, sensitive and easily reactive skin. Used regularly, it supports a soft, supple, well-cared-for appearance without a heavy or greasy finish.
Who it's for
A good match for anyone who wants a simple, plant-led step for dry or sensitive skin, including those building a minimalist routine. It works for all genders and layers easily into existing skincare.
How do you use Perilla Frutescens extract?
Use it three ways. As a toner, pat a few drops over cleansed skin before your serum or moisturiser. As a quick mask, saturate a cotton pad and press it onto the areas you want to focus on. Or mix it in: blend two or more Just One extracts together, or add this extract to a toner, lotion or cream you already use at roughly 5–10% depending on the texture you prefer.
Storage and shelf life
Because the formula is full of natural raw ingredients, use it within 6 months of opening. Keep it somewhere dark and cool, out of direct sunlight, ideally in the refrigerator. Avoid frequent temperature swings, and if you start storing it chilled, keep it chilled. You may notice small herbal particles settling at the bottom — that's the natural plant fibre in the extract and is completely normal; it doesn't affect quality or safety.
