Description
Pink Grapefruit Essential Oil (Citrus paradisi)
Cold-Pressed | Uplifting | Detoxifying | Skin-Balancing
Our Pink Grapefruit Essential Oil is extracted by cold pressing the fragrant peels of the Citrus paradisi fruit , a hybrid of Pomelo (Citrus maxima) and Sweet Orange (Citrus sinensis). The result is a fresh, zesty, and mood-boosting citrus oil with a vibrant aroma that uplifts the spirit and refreshes the senses.
This oil is a formulator’s favorite in aromatherapy, natural skincare, and body care formulations. Its light, citrusy scent makes it perfect for mood-enhancing blends, detoxifying massage oils, cellulite scrubs, and scalp care treatments.
