Grapefruit oil – activating, skin-tightening & mood-enhancing
Grapefruit oil has a skin-tightening, circulation-stimulating and mood-enhancing effect – ideal for invigorating natural cosmetics for impure skin and cellulite.
Introduction / Brief description
Grapefruit oil (INCI: Citrus Paradisi Peel Oil ) is an essential oil extracted from the peel of the grapefruit. It is a citrus oil and delights with its fresh, slightly tart scent. It is valued in natural cosmetics for its astringent, toning, and activating properties. Grapefruit oil supports the skin's detoxification processes, promotes circulation, and refines the complexion—especially for oily, blemished, or sagging skin.
Origin & Production
Our grapefruit oil is certified organic. The grapefruits are cultivated in sunny regions and harvested by hand. The essential oil is extracted from the fruit peels through gentle cold pressing. This ensures the volatile plant compounds are particularly well preserved. The result is a high-quality, naturally pure oil with a clear, citrus-fruity aroma and a powerful effect on the skin and senses.
