Grapefruit Essential Oil

Grapefruit essential oil is extracted from Citrus paradisi (also known as Citrus racemosa and C. maxima var. racemosa) from the Rutaceae family and is also known as shaddock.

Originally from Asia, it is now cultivated in the USA, Brazil and Israel. Grapefruit is picked from a glossy- leaved tree, about 10 meters (30 feet) high, with white flowers and large, pale yellow fruit.

The oil glands are imbedded deep within the peel and yield a small amount of essential oil.

Grapefruit essential oil has a sharp refreshing smell and is either a pale yellow or light ruby color with a watery viscosity. Like all citrus oils, grapefruit oil should be used within six month of purchase.

This essential oil is an ingredient in anti-cellulite massage oil and also for boosting your lymphatic system - it positively affects your mood and revives the mind while stimulating the digestive system and clearing up congested oily skin and acne.
