Pink Grapefruit

Pink Grapefruit Essential Oil is a vibrant, uplifting oil extracted from the fresh peels of Citrus × paradisi through cold pressing. Its bright, tangy, and slightly sweet aroma instantly energizes the senses and promotes a positive, cheerful mood. Rich in natural limonene, this oil not only refreshes the mind but also supports skin health, helping to tone and cleanse oily or congested skin when used in diluted form. Perfect for natural perfumery, aromatherapy, and holistic wellness, Pink Grapefruit Essential Oil brings a sparkling freshness to blends, creating an invigorating and revitalizing experience. As with all citrus oils, it should be used with care on the skin and kept out of direct sunlight due to its phototoxic potential.
