Grapefruit Oil

Grapefruit Oil, cold-pressed from the peel of the Citrus paradisi fruit, is an uplifting and refreshing essential oil celebrated for its bright, citrusy, and slightly tart aroma. This invigorating oil captures the essence of grapefruit peel, which has been appreciated in aromatherapy and skincare for its bright, energizing character.

The oil smells like the zest of a fresh grapefruit, with a bitter edge to the tartness. As a top note it is bright and fleeting, so it works best blended with longer-lasting oils such as lavender or cedarwood.

In aromatherapy, Grapefruit Oil is renowned for its ability to create a bright, uplifting atmosphere. Its lively and fresh scent is a popular choice for diffusing.

The composition of Grapefruit Oil, rich in limonene, myrcene, and pinene, gives it its distinctive bright citrus character.
