Thanks to its tart taste and signature color, it\u2019s not hard to see why grapefruit is a citrus favorite<\/span>.<\/span> But this favored fruit is so much more than a side to your breakfast or an element in your summer sorbet. In fact, Grapefruit oil benefits range from skin-cleansing properties to weight-management support<\/strong><\/span>\u2014not to mention its delightful, cheery scent!<\/p>\n

\"LMC3560\"<\/a>1. Origin story<\/span><\/h2>\n

Grapefruit trees can be quite tall\u2014reaching up to 20 feet! They have lush, dense foliage, and the grape-like clusters of fruit are the source of the unique name. We cold press peels of the fresh fruit to distill this citrus essential oil and bottle the inviting smell of a grapefruit orchard for you.<\/p>\n

2. Room refresher<\/span><\/h2>\n

Want your living room to feel like a sunny beach house or your bathroom to feel like a sleek spa? Grapefruit\u2019s complex scent is a welcome burst of freshness on its own or when combined with other essential oils.<\/p>\n

We love to mix equal parts Grapefruit<\/a>, Peppermint<\/a>, Orange<\/a>, Lemon<\/a>, and Bergamot<\/a> along with distilled water to create a DIY room refresher. Spray anywhere you\u2019d like an uplifting and energizing scent!<\/p>\n

Refresh your evening ritual by adding Grapefruit essential oil to your lotions, toners, or cleansers, so you can see the benefits to your skin firsthand.<\/p>\n

Keep in mind that Grapefruit is a photosensitive oil<\/a>, and it\u2019s recommended that you avoid sunlight and UV rays for 12 hours after topical application.<\/p>\n

4. Blissful blends<\/span><\/h2>\n

Grapefruit oil\u2019s sweet, invigorating scent is what makes it easy to associate this essential oil with feelings of joy, satisfaction, and playfulness.
