The scent is distinctly upbeat and energetic, and is often described as the most uplifting of all citrus oils. The Latin name is \u003cem\u003eCitrus Paradisi\u003c\/em\u003e, and the oil is cold-pressed from the peel of the pink grapefruit. The color is light yellow to pinkish orange and the scent is fresh, sweet, juicy and typically citrus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis oil naturally contains a very high percentage of limonene (often 88 to 95%), which is responsible for its recognizable aroma and stimulating properties. In addition, the oil contains smaller amounts of myrcene and alpha-pinene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePink Grapefruit blends beautifully with other citrus oils such as bergamot and lemon, with spicy oils such as rosemary, peppermint and ginger, and with woody oils such as frankincense and cedarwood. It is a popular top note in uplifting perfume blends and a beloved addition to morning and sports massage oils.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is Pink Grapefruit Essential Oil made?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePink Grapefruit Essential Oil is extracted through cold pressing, also known as \u003cem\u003eexpression\u003c\/em\u003e of \u003cem\u003ecold pressing\u003c\/em\u003e . In this process, the grapefruit peels are mechanically compressed, causing the oil glands in the peel to burst open and releasing the essential oil. Because no heat is involved, the natural aroma molecules are optimally preserved. This gives cold-pressed grapefruit its vibrant, juicy scent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike other cold-pressed citrus oils, Pink Grapefruit contains furocoumarins, although in lower concentrations than bergamot or lime. As a result, the oil is mildly phototoxic and a higher maximum dosage is allowed than with more phototoxic citrus oils.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBenefits of Pink Grapefruit Essential Oil\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHas a strong uplifting and energetic effect\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe fresh, sweet aroma of pink grapefruit dispels a morning mood in an instant and helps with fatigue and mental lethargy.

For homemade care, we recommend a working dose of 1 percent (1 gram per 100 grams of product). The IFRA maximum is higher at 4 percent due to the milder phototoxicity, but 1 percent is safer in practice because citrus oils naturally contain allergens that stack quickly when you combine multiple essential oils.

Citrus oils are more susceptible to oxidation than other essential oils, and proper storage significantly extends their shelf life.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlways close the bottle tightly after use. Contact with air can cause the oil to lose its fragrance and effect more quickly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTest on a small area of skin before using the oil for the first time, especially if you have sensitive skin.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlways work with grams and percentages, not drops. Droplets vary in size and make it difficult to stay within safe limits.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePoints of attention and side effects\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePink Grapefruit Essential Oil is mildly phototoxic. The oil naturally contains furocoumarins, a group of molecules that react with skin cells under the influence of UV light and can cause skin damage. This can lead to redness, irritation, and hyperpigmentation. Pink grapefruit contains lower concentrations of furocoumarins than bergamot or lime, allowing a higher maximum dosage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to the IFRA 51st Amendment (2023), the legal maximum in leave-on products is on the skin \u003cstrong\u003e4 percent\u003c\/strong\u003e. For a care product of 100 grams, that means a maximum of 4 grams of pink grapefruit oil. For a 30 ml serum, that's about 1.2 grams. The IFRA maximum is the upper limit, not the recommended dose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur practical working dose: 1 percent\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor homemade care, we recommend a dosage of 1 percent (1 gram per 100 grams of product). Citrus oils naturally contain allergens such as limonene, linalool, citral, and geraniol. When you combine multiple essential oils in one recipe, these allergens accumulate and you can quickly exceed the legal allergen limits. A working dose of 1 percent gives you the space to use multiple oils in one recipe without going over those limits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor products that you rinse off, such as soap, shower gel or shampoo, longer maximums apply because the oil does not remain on the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot recommended for use during pregnancy without consultation with an expert. Keep out of reach of children. When in doubt or with sensitive skin, always test on a small area first and wait 24 hours before using it on larger areas. Always use the oil diluted, never pure on the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Natural Heroes","offers":[{"title":"10 ml","offer_id":53165534478679,"sku":"PKGF-NH-1","price":8.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"30 ml","offer_id":53165534511447,"sku":"PKGF-NH-2","price":17.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"1 ml","offer_id":53165534544215,"sku":"PKGF-NH-SAMPLE","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"5 ml","offer_id":53165534576983,"sku":"PKGF-NH-FS","price":4.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0889\/5214\/4215\/files\/216-bottle-b-5-1KSQ-sRGB.png?v=1774934769","url":"https:\/\/alhalalcosmetics.nl\/en-nl\/products\/pink-grapefruit-etherische-olie","provider":"Halal Cosmetics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
