Tales from Nature
Grapefruit (Citrus Paradisi) is an evergreen plant in the Rutaceae family, native to Central America and widely cultivated in Florida, South Africa and Argentina. It is a perennial plant and its leaves are dark green, long and thin. Grapefruit requires a fairly mild climate.
Essential Oil is extracted from the fruit, known for its draining, firming properties, excellent in cosmetic formulations for the treatment of oily, impure, acne-prone and dull skin.
Hair Benefits
Grapefruit Essential Oil facilitates the complete closure of the scales, making the hair fiber extraordinarily smooth and combable. The hair cuticle can thus carry out its physiological protective action. It has a general antiseptic action, is tonic and euphoric, counteracts both mental and physical, and stimulates the lymphatic system and appetite.
Skin Benefits
Grapefruit Essential Oil has purifying and revitalizing properties. In skincare products it exerts a powerful draining effect that reduces tissue swelling typical of cellulite. It eliminates toxins from the body and helps to reduce cellulite and stop its further development.
In addition, due to its high vitamin C content, grapefruit helps fight the accumulation of fat that is one of the main causes of the blemish.
