The grapefruit is a small, subtropical tree of the citrus family. The grapefruit tree is an evergreen tree with glossy leaves and delicately scented, white flowers that give way to large, golden fruit. The peel of the grapefruit is bursting with small glands filled with essential oil. The outer pericarp is thus steam distilled to release the aromatic components. The resulting essential oil is zesty, fresh, and bitter, with the characteristic smell of citrus.

Grapefruit Essential Oil is a wonderfully energizing oil that is not too strong or overpowering.
