Citrus freshness with a revitalising aroma

Fresh, bitter aroma with a citrus touch. Grapefruit essential oil is ideal for moments of clarity and focus, providing a feeling of lightness and environmental freshness.

What is grapefruit essential oil used for?

Grapefruit (Citrus x paradisi) is believed to have originated spontaneously from a cross between the Chinese pomelo (Citrus maxima) and the sweet orange during the 17th century, in Caribbean plantations. It was not until the 20th century that the use of its essential oil, extracted from the peel, became popular, mainly in perfumery and cosmetics thanks to its pleasant and versatile olfactory profile.

Here are some ideas to benefit from this essential oil:

• Enjoy an aromatic self-massage

  After a long working day or a demanding exercise routine, a massage with grapefruit essential oil can provide a refreshing sensation with a pleasant citrus aroma. You can use it on the legs, abdomen, feet or even as part of a morning routine to start the day.

• Include grapefruit essential oil in your skincare routine

  As part of blends and when properly diluted in a vegetable oil (always follow the manufacturer's instructions), you can enjoy it, for example, after bathing, experiencing its pleasant fresh and renewing fragrance.

• Create an energetic and vibrant atmosphere

  Its light citrus aroma can scent the room you are in, filling the space with a pleasant feeling of cleanliness and freshness, perfect for energising you. You only need a diffuser or vaporiser and a few drops of essential oil.

100% pure essential oil, made from grapefruit peel

Being a pure essential oil made from grapefruit peel is a fundamental quality criterion. Avoid oils whose ingredients include other oils or artificial additives, as these would reduce the quality of the product.

Derived from the peel of Citrus x paradisi

Hévéa essential oil comes from Citrus x paradisi, the botanical name for grapefruit. It is in the peel that most of a compound called limonene is concentrated, which gives it its main characteristics.

Packaged in a protective bottle

Preserving an essential oil is just as important as its quality, as its nature makes it vulnerable to sunlight and air. Hévéa packages grapefruit essential oil in a tinted glass bottle that protects it from ultraviolet rays such as sunlight, and its airtight closure prevents contact with air when closed, thus keeping its properties intact.

With organic certification

Hévéa grapefruit essential oil is organically certified. This means that no pesticides or artificial fertilisers have been used in its cultivation, nor genetically modified organisms. Grapefruit grown naturally and organically to obtain this essential oil that concentrates all its properties.

Food use

Not many essential oils on the market are suitable for food use, but Hévéa grapefruit essential oil can be used both in recipes and in infusions. It is only necessary to take the appropriate precautions, always following the recommendations and using a very small amount, properly diluted in a carrier vegetable oil or in honey.
