Grapefruit Essential Oil

Grapefruit Essential Oil

Citrus paradisi

Grapefruit essential oil is cold pressed from the rind of Citrus paradisi. The batches on this page come from certified organic fruit grown in Italy, Mexico, South Africa, and the USA.

Almost all of this oil is monoterpenes, and one of them does most of the work. d-Limonene typically runs 86-97% in our batches, with β-myrcene at about 1-4% and small amounts of sabinene and α-pinene rounding things out. d-Limonene is the component people talk about most in citrus oils. It's antibacterial and antioxidant, and Grapefruit's sweet citrus aroma is loved for the way it uplifts the mood, stimulates the mind, and supports your immunity.

Every batch is independently GC-MS tested, and each batch's full report lives right here on this page, so you can see the chemistry for yourself.
