Application
Grapefruit essential oil is a 100% natural oil obtained by mechanically pressing grapefruit peels. It is one of the most sought-after citrus oils, highly valued in natural medicine and cosmetology. Thanks to its extraction method, it retains all its beneficial properties, vitamins, minerals, and active substances. It is particularly rich in vitamin C.
It is widely used in the production of cosmetics for the face, body, and hair. It is an essential ingredient in lotions, creams, and ointments designed to fight cellulite. It can also be applied undiluted and massaged directly onto affected areas.
When added to face creams and other cosmetics, it significantly enhances their composition.
It is used as an additive in shampoos, conditioners, and handmade soaps.
Highly valued in perfumery, including oil-based perfumes (fresh, citrusy aroma).
It can also be blended with carrier oils for body massage.
