Where can I get a perilla oil?

[jin]

I heard that perilla oil is great for atopy.
I found perilla oil at NDA but I have to pay the admin fee..
Plz tell me if you know the shop where sells a good perilla oil.

I know but I have to pay the admin fee. I'm looking for the shop that I can get perilla oil without admin fee...

The sources that link perilla and atopic dermatitis are focusing on water based extracts. Do not assume the oil has the same properties as an aqueous extract.

A soap made with the oil is not going to be as effective as a leave on product such as a lotion, not to mention that lye can easily destroy the active ingredients.

It may be found at some Asian food stores, but be aware that sesame oil is sometimes labeled as perilla oil. I think it has to do with translation errors as both the sesame and perrilla plants are called by the same common name in some Asain countries.

It can be found on Amazon from third party sellers too. The shipping seems really steep though.
