PINK GRAPEFRUIT
citrus paradisi {10ml}
Product Summary
Pink Grapefruit Essential Oil has anti-depressive properties and an incredible fragrance that makes it a good choice to add to a perfume blend. It is uplifting as a diffuser oil and blends well with citrus, florals, and especially with Sandalwood essential oil.*
Pink Grapefruit is a very refreshing oil helpful in combatting depression and fatigue. It is cooling, cleansing, decongesting, and can be beneficial for the liver and a sluggish lymph system.*
Further, the pleasing aroma has laboratory-confirmed appetite reducing effects. Adding a drop of Pink Grapefruit to drinking water gives a refreshing zing that also has wonderful cleansing properties.*
Like many of the citrus oils, Pink Grapefruit, has a unique “fat dissolving” characteristic. Pink Grapefruit is famous for reducing cellulite and can be used with a favorite carrier oil.*
