Citrus Paradisi Peel Oil (Grapefruit Peel Oil)

Citrus Paradisi Peel Oil is an aromatic essential oil expressed or distilled from the peel of Citrus paradisi (grapefruit), prized for its fresh, bright citrus profile and multifunctional role in formulations. In cosmetics, it is primarily used as a perfuming ingredient to uplift the sensorial character of products, while also offering mild skin-conditioning and antioxidant support as part of botanical complexes. It can help improve product freshness perception and is commonly found in cleansers, body lotions, scrubs, deodorants, hair care, and fragrance-forward skincare. Because citrus peel oils may contain naturally occurring sensitizing components and, depending on composition, potentially photoreactive furocoumarins, it is typically used at low levels and formulated in accordance with IFRA guidance, especially for leave-on products.
