Notes Citrus, Fresh, Tangy

Grapefruit essential oil is extracted from the peel of the Citrus paradisi fruit through cold expression. Grapefruit was originally discovered in Barbados, though is now widely cultivated in the USA, which is where this particular oil originates from.

This certified organic oil has a bright, tangy, and refreshing aroma that is both uplifting and energising. The high limonene content is responsible for its sharp, bitter scent and taste. It is widely used in aromatherapy for its mood-boosting properties, and is also known for its potential benefits in skincare, as it can help to balance oily skin.
