Grapefruit (Organic)
What does Grapefruit smell like? It has a fresh, tangy scent that is similar to that of lime, but sweeter.
Vitamin C’s skin benefits are praised for good reason. Citrus essential oils are an alternative to vitamin C serums with many of the same skin benefits. Grapefruit essential oil is known for its healing properties and as a natural remedy for healthy, clear skin. The oil is extracted from a grapefruit peel through a process called cold-pressing. Grapefruit essential oil has a sweet citrus scent, which makes it a popular note in aromatherapy and bodycare. It has restorative benefits for the mind and body to help promote muscle relaxation, weight loss, cramp relief, blood press regulation, better mood, and glowing, youthful skin. Grapefruit essential oil is rich in antioxidants to support immunity and improve skin tone or texture concerns. It also contains antiseptic properties to keep skin clean and balanced.

Benefits on the skin

Slows down signs of Ageing
Free radicals from the sun, outside pollution, chemicals, and an unhealthy diet can produce oxidative stress in the body. Oxidative stress can accelerate the skin ageing process, leading to more wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, dry skin, and thinner skin texture. The vitamin C found in grapefruit essential oil helps neutralize, reverse, and protect against future free radical damage.
Vitamin C helps stimulate collagen and elastin production. These proteins keep the skin cells hydrated, strong, resilient and are the building blocks for a flexible, supple, and smooth skin texture. Collagen also promotes the exfoliation of dehydrating dead skin cells to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and improve skin tone concerns like hyperpigmentation. One 2017 study found that using topical vitamin C daily reduced the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines after 12 weeks.
Clears Acne & Prevents Breakouts
Research has found that citrus essential oils improve breakouts due to their anti-inflammatory response and anti-bacterial benefits. Grapefruit essential oil’s antioxidant and bacteria-fighting properties heal existing acne and protect against future breakouts. Rich in vitamin C antioxidants, grapefruit oil calms inflammation, promotes collagen production, and increases cellular turnover to unclog pores.

Simultaneously, its anti-bacterial and anti-microbial properties break down any bacteria or other microbes stuck in your pores to support the acne clearing process. Grapefruit oil is an astringent (cleanses the skin, helps control oil production, and tightens pores) and, combined with its anti-inflammatory properties, keeps the skin calm and balanced.
Reduce Cellulite
This citrus oil calms your body, mind, and boosts circulation – thanks to its high antioxidant content. Grapefruit oil is the top-recommended essential oil to reduce cellulite and water retention. For centuries, grapefruit oil has been used to curb sugar cravings and help individuals shed extra pounds. In a 2010 study, researchers made sense of this method and found that grapefruit oil inhibits adipogenesis (formation of fat and fat cells). Use the essential oil after getting out of the shower.
