The grapefruit (Citrus Paradisi) is an evergreen plant of the Rutaceae family, native to Central America and widely cultivated in Florida, South Africa, and Argentina. It is a perennial plant with dark green, long, and slender leaves. The grapefruit requires a fairly mild climate.
Glycerine extract is derived from the fruit; it is known for its draining and firming properties and is excellent in cosmetic formulations for treating oily, blemished, acne-prone, and dull skin.
Benefits
It facilitates the gradual closing of the hair cuticles, making the hair shaft extraordinarily smooth and easy to comb. The hair cuticle can thus perform its natural protective function.
It has a general purifying effect; it is invigorating and uplifting, helps alleviate certain mental and physical ailments, and stimulates the lymphatic system and appetite.
