Pink Grapefruit
Essential Oil - 5mL Citrus paradisi - FranceThis oil is obtained by cold pressing of the rind. Pink Grapefruit essential oil is another oil that blends well with just about any other oil. It adds a fresh fruity top note without dominating. Light and fruity, Grapefruit essential oil is very uplifting and relieves stress, anxiety and depression. Best partners for blending are Lavender and other citrus oils, but just as easily synergizes with spices and woodsy type oils. Grapefruit increases circulation and controls greasy skin or hair when added to toner or shampoo. Although some references claim Grapefruit essential oil is not photo-toxic, others claim it is actually the most photo-toxic citrus oil. Therefore, do not apply to the skin in concentrations greater than 0.5-1% to avoid discolouration of the skin when exposed to the sun. Pink grapefruit essential oil is very similar to the white variety, but just a touch sweeter.
