Grapefruit Pink Essential Oil.
Conversional or Organic
The grapefruit (Citrus × paradisi) is a subtropical citrus tree known for its relatively large, sour to semi-sweet, somewhat bitter fruit.[1] The interior flesh is segmented and varies in color from pale yellow to dark pink. Grapefruit essential oil is made through a process called cold-pressing, where oils are extracted from the fruit’s peel. The grapefruit is a hybrid cross between sweet oranges and pomelo. It originated in Asia and was taken to the Caribbean by Europeans in the 1800s. Grapefruit essential oil is more expensive than other essential oils because it’s harder to extract than from other citrus fruits. Essential oils contain strong concentrations of the smells and flavors of the plants and fruits from which they’re extracted. This oil can then be used in aromatherapy or applied topically to potentially benefit your health.
