Description
Springfields Grapefruit is a single, unblended essential oil, cold pressed from the fruit peel of Citrus paradisi and supplied in an 10 mL bottle. The aroma is tangy and bright with the sweet-sour character of the fresh fruit, and it is one of the simplest oils to reach for when a blend needs a clean citrus top note. Because it is a cold pressed peel oil it carries a sunlight caution, which is set out in the Safety section below and is not optional reading. A few drops in a diffuser is the usual use, on its own for a clean citrus note through a kitchen or a workroom, or over the top of heavier woods and spices when a blend needs lifting.
Product Strengths
- Grapefruit is traditionally used in aromatherapy as a fresh, uplifting citrus scent.
- One hundred per cent pure grapefruit essential oil, with no carrier oil, extender or added fragrance.
- Cold pressed from the fruit peel, the method that keeps the fresh, zesty character of the rind.
- Tangy, sweet-sour citrus aroma that sits as a top note and lifts heavier florals, woods and spices.
- Every batch is tested for authenticity, including GC and MS analysis and checks for pesticide and herbicide residues.
- Sourced from growers overseas and in Australia, then blended and bottled in Australia.
Suitable For / Not Suitable For
Suitable for: General household use.
Not suitable for: Pregnant or breastfeeding women, unless advised by a health professional.
Botanical Source
Botanical name: Citrus paradisi, also written Citrus x paradisi
Plant part: fruit peel
Extraction: cold pressing, also called cold expression
Country of origin: No country of origin for this oil. Springfields sources essential oils from around the world, including Australia, and the oils are blended and bottled in Australia.
How to Use
- Diffuser or vaporiser: add a few drops to the water reservoir and run the appliance according to its own instructions.
- Massage and body blends: dilute in a carrier oil before applying to skin. The usual guidance for adults is 1 to 3 per cent. Read the sunlight caution below before you apply any grapefruit blend to skin.
- Bath: mix the oil into a dispersant or a little carrier oil first, because neat oil floats on water and can irritate skin.
- Blending companions listed on the pack include lavender, geranium, clary sage, clove, mandarin, ginger, juniper, cypress, rosemary, thyme, peppermint, eucalyptus, fennel, black pepper, frankincense and patchouli.
- Confirm directions for use from the product label.
Safety
- Not for internal use. Do not take this oil by mouth unless you are doing so under the supervision of a suitably qualified practitioner.
- Always dilute in a carrier oil before skin contact. The usual aromatherapy guidance for adults is 1 to 3 per cent in a carrier such as sweet almond, jojoba or apricot kernel oil.
- Patch test a small area of skin first and stop using the oil if redness, itching or irritation develops.
- Keep away from the eyes, the inner ears and other mucous membranes, and do not apply to broken or damaged skin.
- Keep out of reach of children.
- Essential oils are flammable. Keep the bottle away from naked flame, heaters and other ignition sources.
- If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or you are under medical care, speak with a qualified health professional before using essential oils.
- Sunlight and sunbeds. This is a cold pressed citrus peel oil, and cold pressed citrus peel oils can make skin far more sensitive to ultraviolet light. Springfields carries a sunlight and UV caution on its cold pressed Bergamot and publishes no bergapten-free or FCF grade of grapefruit anywhere in its range, so treat this bottle as a standard cold pressed oil that is not bergapten-free. Keep any skin you have applied it to out of direct sunlight and off sunbeds for at least 12 hours afterwards.
- Citrus peel oils oxidise once the bottle is opened, and oxidised citrus oil is more likely to irritate skin. Keep the cap on tightly, store it cool and dark, and replace it rather than using an old, resinous smelling bottle.
Storage
Store below 30 degrees Celsius in the original tightly capped bottle, standing upright, away from direct sunlight, heat and naked flame. Keep out of reach of children.
