Grapefruit Seed Oil

Grapefruit Seed Oil - Pure Natural Oil for Skin & Haircare

Extracted from the seeds of grapefruit (Citrus paradisi), this lightweight oil is valued for its delicate citrus character and nutrient composition. Cold-pressed to preserve its natural properties, grapefruit seed oil is a specialty ingredient in natural cosmetic formulations, offering a unique addition to citrus-inspired beauty products.

About This Oil

Grapefruit seed oil is cold-pressed from the seeds of grapefruit, which are carefully extracted and processed to yield this specialty cosmetic oil. This oil typically has a pale yellow appearance and a mild, slightly citrus aroma that adds a fresh sensory element to cosmetic formulations.

Grapefruit, a relatively modern citrus fruit believed to have originated in Barbados in the 18th century, is now cultivated in subtropical regions worldwide. The seeds, which are byproducts of the juice industry, can be processed to create this specialty oil, making it a sustainable use of materials that would otherwise be discarded.

Important Note: This is grapefruit seed carrier oil (cold-pressed from seeds), which is different from grapefruit essential oil (extracted from the peel) and grapefruit seed extract (a concentrated extract). This product is specifically a carrier oil for cosmetic applications.

Grapefruit seed oil has a light texture that absorbs readily into skin. As with other citrus seed oils, it requires proper storage to maintain its quality and freshness in cosmetic formulations.
