Grapefruit Essential OilOrganic Grapefruit Essential Oil: 100% undiluted, therapeutic quality aromatherapy oil. Source: Scent: Aromatherapy Properties: Grapefruit is a useful essential oil for cellulite treatment and lymphatic drainage massage and its aromatherapeutic effects on the psychology can help lift self-esteem and promote a sense of optimism. The stimulating and cleansing effects of Grapefruit make it the perfect essential oil to assist breakdown and dispersal of unwanted accumulations in body tissues. Read more about Grapefruit in our Skin Care Herbarium: Citrus paradisi. Use this Essential Oil for: Composition: Blends well with: Phototoxic Effects of Grapefruit Essential Oil Our grapefruit essential oil has been unadultered, meaning it is in its completely natural state. If citrus essential oil is to be used in a leave-on topical product (eg. body lotion, massage oil), the maximum concentration recommended by the International Fragrance Association (IFA) (bergamot, orange, mandarin, lemon, grapefruit) is up to 0.5%, depending upon concentration of terpenes. This is particularly important if skin is going to be exposed to UV radiation soon after application of a leave-on product containing citrus essential oils. To put it another way, if you have 30 grams of skin lotion or carrier oil, up to a maximum of 1.5 grams of citrus essential oil is considered safe by the IFA*. * D.G.
