Grapefruit comes from the plant Citrus X Paradisi, a perennial tree that grows to approximately 4.5 – 9 metres tall. It produces vibrant, green leaves, fragrant flowers, and grapefruits. Whilst the pulp of the fruit has plenty to offer, Grapefruit essential oil is taken from the rind which has an array of beneficial compounds.
Grapefruit is one of the most versatile essential oils. Just like the fruit itself, the oil has a clean, fresh, and slightly bitter aroma. It has been used for centuries to help fight against weight gain, however, the benefits don’t end there.
Not only does Grapefruit essential oil have a delightful, invigorating scent, but aromatic application lifts the mood and promotes feelings of clarity. When applied topically, the cleansing properties of Grapefruit oil can improve the skin’s appearance, for a healthier, clearer look. When taken internally it supports the metabolism and stimulates the immune system.
