White Grapefruit Essential Oil *Pro

Amber glass bottle with dropper containing 30 ml

Discover white grapefruit essential oil (Citrus paradisi), a 100% pure essence extracted by cold-pressing the fresh zest of this iconic citrus fruit. Known for its fresh, fruity, and slightly tangy fragrance, it offers an invigorating olfactory experience that evokes the crisp, juicy flesh of white grapefruit. Sourced from tropical trees originating in the Americas and cultivated in sunny regions like the United States, Mexico, or Israel, this natural treasure has multiple uses in aromatherapy, cosmetics, and even cooking.

History of White Grapefruit Essential Oil

The grapefruit tree, named grapefruit in English due to its fruit growing in clusters, has a rich history tracing back to natural hybrids between the Southeast Asian pomelo and the sweet orange. Originating in the Caribbean in the 18th century, it spread to tropical regions, becoming a symbol of vitality. In China, it is considered one of the three blessed fruits, alongside lemon and peach. The cold-pressing extraction method, an ancient technique, preserves its active compounds, particularly limonene, making it a prized product for centuries for its toning and purifying properties.

Technical Characteristics and Flash Point

100% pure white grapefruit essential oil is distinguished by its high monoterpene content, particularly limonene (up to 95%), which gives it unique properties. With a pale yellow to orange hue, it has a light texture and a characteristic zesty aroma. Its flash point is approximately 43°C, meaning it is flammable at this temperature and must be stored away from heat and flames to ensure safety and longevity.

Phototoxicity and Usage Precautions

This oil is photosensitizing due to the presence of furocoumarins, which can cause skin reactions under sun exposure. Avoid UV exposure for at least 12 hours after skin application. For safe use, dilute it to 20% in a carrier oil (such as jojoba or sweet almond oil) before applying to the skin, and perform a patch test on the inner elbow to rule out allergies. Undiluted, it can be dermocaustic, potentially causing irritation, so handle with care and wash hands after use.

Specific Contraindications

White grapefruit essential oil is not recommended for pregnant women during the first three months of pregnancy or for children under 3 years old, except in diffusion under supervision. Avoid use if taking medications (e.g., anticoagulants, antidepressants), as it may interfere with their metabolism. Individuals with citrus allergies or kidney issues should avoid it or consult a healthcare professional before use.

Benefits and Advantages

This essential oil is a powerhouse of benefits. Tonic and lipolytic, it promotes fat and water elimination, making it ideal for anti-cellulite massages or detox regimens. Purifying, it cleanses the air when diffused and regulates sebum in oily skin or hair prone to loss. Emotionally, its uplifting scent reduces stress, boosts confidence, and promotes restful sleep. In cooking, a few drops add a unique fruity note to creative recipes.

Why Choose the 30 ml Format?

Choosing the 30 ml format of 100% pure white grapefruit essential oil ensures practicality and longevity. This generous volume allows extended use, whether for diffusion blends (30 to 60 drops per session), cosmetic preparations (up to 2% in mixtures), or culinary recipes (1 to 2 drops per liter). Packaged in an amber glass bottle with a dropper, it protects the oil from light and enables precise dosing, making it cost-effective for regular aromatherapy users. It’s the perfect ally for incorporating this versatile essence into your daily routine while enjoying its long-term benefits.
