Organic Grapefruit Essential Oil

Botanical name: Citrus paradisi

Organic Grapefruit Essential Oil is cold pressed from the peel of Citrus paradisi, a citrus tree cultivated throughout warm regions of the world. Although grapefruit is a relatively modern citrus fruit, it has become one of the most popular essential oils thanks to its vibrant aroma and refreshing character.

This particular oil is produced from pink grapefruit grown in Italy. The essential oil is obtained by mechanically cold pressing the fresh peel, preserving the bright, sparkling aroma that is naturally abundant in the fruit.

With its crisp citrus fragrance and exceptionally high natural limonene content, grapefruit oil has become a favourite ingredient in diffuser blends, natural cleaning products, botanical skincare, and uplifting aromatic preparations.
