About

Although it is often used for its wonderful diuretic and astringent properties, I love Grapefruit most for its sparkling aroma. The scent adds such sunshine to whatever space it is diffusing in.

Great for making a room spray or adding to dried flowers in a bowl. Use freely in a diffuser.

Sometimes I will add other citrus oils like Lime and Orange for a more expansive scent. The smell brings freshness and is a great choice any time of year.

Grapefruit is a great deodorizer.

Safety Issues

Phototoxic. May cause skin irritation. Use in low dilution (1%) when applying to the skin, such as in bath or massage oils. Older, oxidized oils increase the potential for skin irritation. It is considered best to buy citrus oils that are from organically grown fruit as citrus trees can be heavily sprayed with pesticides.
