Origin
Citrus Paradisi Peel Oil is derived from cold pressing the outer peel of the grapefruit, native to Asia and the West Indies. This method does not require heat and retains more of the natural aroma and freshness. Lastly, water, fruit particles, and impurities are separated from the extracted oil, and it is stored in airtight containers to prevent oxidation.

It can also be phototoxic when exposed to UV light after application.

Additionally, this essential oil should be stored in cool, dark conditions to prevent oxidation. Performing patch tests before full application is always safer and recommended.
