Questions and Answers (FAQ)
Q: Is grapefruit essential oil photosensitizing?
A: This particular variant is. Being obtained by cold pressing from the fruit peel, it contains photosensitizing molecules. It is mandatory to avoid exposing the skin to the sun or UV rays for a minimum of 12 hours after applying a cosmetic product containing this oil to the body. We also have a variant without photosensitizing molecules in our portfolio, ideal for skin applications.
Q: Can I add this essential oil directly into my store-bought cream?
A: It is not recommended to enrich ready-made commercial cosmetic products from the store, as the addition of essential oils can destabilize them. It is optimally used in neutral cosmetic bases or DIY recipes built from scratch.
Q: Does grapefruit essential oil help cleanse a scalp with a tendency to get greasy?
A: Yes, due to its astringent and purifying properties, it is an excellent ingredient for the care of a scalp with a tendency to get greasy quickly. Added to shampoos, it helps efficiently cleanse and restore volume to the hair.

For emotional balancing, it can be applied (diluted) on the back of the neck or on the soles and the effect will be quick and long-lasting. It gives a feeling of well-being, reduces fatigue and helps with depression.

I love this oil. It's like when you're craving a grapefruit and you drink a juice or at least smell it and you feel better. That's exactly how it feels.

It has a fragrance identical to that of a freshly opened fruit. It's wonderfully fresh, exudes pure freshness. So far I've used it in the recipe for the only men's fragrance on the site. It would be great to add more men's fragrance recipes. I recommend!
