Pink Grapefruit Peel Oil

What is Pink Grapefruit Peel Oil?

Commonly used in aromatherapy, pink grapefruit peel oil is extracted by cold-pressing the rind of the pink grapefruit. Although the fruit is quite bitter, the scent of the peel has a sweet and pleasantly uplifting citrus aroma which is why it is popular in both the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries as a flavoring agent. Beyond its aroma, however, pink grapefruit oil offers many health benefits.
