What is Grapefruit Oil?
The Grapefruit is a citrus fruit that at first glance resembles the orange. Just like the orange, the grapefruit has a yellow/orange peel. However, on the inside the flesh turns pink and has a slightly bittersweet taste.
Grapefruit Essential Oil is a fresh & fruity scented oil that is extracted from the fresh peels of the grapefruit. This is done by cold pressing. The oil obtained from this is packed with antioxidants such as vitamin C.
Where is it from?
The grapefruit originally comes from Jamaica. This is where the cross between the grapefruit and the orange originated. Grapefruits are now produced worldwide.

Benefits of Grapefruit Oil
Digestion
Grapefruit oil has a beneficial effect on digestion. In addition to antioxidants, grapefruit oil also contains alkaloids. This ensures that the formation of digestive juices is activated.
In balance
Grapefruit oil can help you dispel gloomy moods during the dark winter months, or the ‘winter blues’. The fresh citrus scent gives you an energetic feeling and helps to restore balance to the disturbed hormone balance.
Against cellulite
Cosmetics containing citrus are often used to combat cellulite. Grapefruit oil contracts the skin and is therefore ideal for combating cellulite as well as treating existing cellulite.
How do you use Grapefruit Oil?
