Grapefruit oil is applied to the skin for tired muscles, hair growth, toning the skin, and for acne and oily skin. It is also used for the common cold, flu (influenza), and swine flu.

Botanical Name.
Citris grandis

Plant Part.
Fresh seeds and fresh inner fruit peel

Extraction.
Grapefruit seeds and pulp are dried and ground into a fine powder before adding to glycerin for a high pressure and temperature extraction. The residual powder is filtered from the mixture, ascorbic acid is added and the product is pH checked.
The glycerin content is derived from a variety of vegetable stocks that include coconut oil and palm oil.

The active part of this preservative sits at approx. 30% and you would usually require between 0.5 - 1% of the active to get a good efficacy. Therefore you would need to add between 1.75 and 2% to your formulation.

Solubility.
Water soluble. Add to water based products after cooling. Not soluble in oil but can be used in an emulsion and can often be added to anhydous balms where it will disperse through the balm structure (rather than dissolve).

Packaging.
Glass Amber Bottle with Dripper Tamper-Evident Screw Lid
