Grapefruit Essential Oil

(Citrus paradisi)

Cold pressed from the richly aromatic rinds of ripe Citrus paradisi fruit, Grapefruit Essential Oil is sourced from orchards nestled in the South African countryside. Known for its fresh, zesty character, this oil delivers a bright, citrusy-sweet aroma with subtle bitterness and a pithy nuance that’s uniquely characteristic of grapefruit. These distinctive notes arise from natural chemical compounds found only in this citrus variety.

As with many citrus peel oils, Grapefruit Essential Oil is rich in Limonene, a monoterpene responsible for its cheerful, lemony scent and natural purifying effects. When diffused, it creates an uplifting atmosphere while helping to cleanse the air. Grapefruit itself is a hybrid between Pomelo (Citrus maxima) and Sweet Orange (Citrus x sinensis), and its unique fragrance owes much to trace components like Nootkatone and rare sulfur-based compounds, which lend it a complex and invigorating profile.
