Grapefruit is believed to be a cross between pomelo and sweet orange plants. Colour: Pale yellow to greenish yellow liquid. Common Uses: Grapefruit Pink Essential Oil is believed by aromatherapists to be a spiritual up-lifter, and to ease muscle fatigue and stiffness. It is also a purifier of congested, oily and acne prone skin and is sometimes added to creams and lotions as a natural toner and cellulite treatment. Grapefruit Essential Oil is reputed to ease nervous exhaustion and relieve depression. Consistency: Thin Note: Middle Strength of Aroma: Medium Blends Well With: Grapefruit Pink blends well with other members of the citrus family, Rosemary, Cypress, Lavender, Geranium, Cardamom and generally most spice oils. Aromatic Scent: Grapefruit White Essential Oil has a fresh, light, slightly bitter citrus scent that is very characteristic of the fruit. History: The differences between the White and Pink Grapefruits are minor. The difference in cost is simply an example of supply and demand; there is more Pink Grapefruit produced because it is sweeter than the white variety.
