Grapefruit Essential Oil
Discontinued.
Grapefruit (Citrus paradisi) essential oil blends well with so many other essential oils, adding an uplifting note of sunshine to any blend. Grapefruit helps to deodorize and adds positive energy to any room. Grapefruit can also help reduce fluids when applied topically to swollen areas of the skin and helps with acne and oily skin issues due to the astringency properties. Cold pressed grapefruit is phototoxic and care must be taken when added to blends for the skin. Read usage details below.
