Pink Grapefruit Essential Oil Uses: For Wholesale Purposes
Aromatherapy
One contributing reason to grapefruit’s popularity is that it is well-known for its ability to suppress appetite. However, many people either can’t tolerate the taste of fresh grapefruit or are unable to consume it regularly due to medication reasons.
A solution to this is pink grapefruit essential oil. When using grapefruit oil for aromatherapy, there is no concern over drug interactions as the components that make up the oil differ from those in the whole fruit.
Forecasts indicate that the market for weight loss products will reach USD $408.36 Billion by the year 2024. However, many of these products are either ineffective or downright bad for your health. If weight loss is your goal, using a natural method such as grapefruit oil to lose weight can be a safer, healthier alternative to many options on the market.
If you choose to try grapefruit oil aromatherapy, there are a few different approaches you can take. The easiest is the inhalation method, which can be done by either using grapefruit oil in a diffuser or simply sniffing directly from the bottle. The other route is to use grapefruit topically, which has the added benefit of doubling as a natural perfume.
If you decide to use grapefruit oil topically it is important to properly dilute it first. Use a few teaspoons of a carrier oil, such as sweet almond or jojoba, and add a few drops of grapefruit oil. Then apply to pressure points as needed.
Beauty Products
Grapefruit essential oil uses in facial products are common, including those targeting Acne, Cellulite, Stretch Marks, And Oily Skin. This is likely because of the oil’s antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and potential antibacterial properties.
In addition to these properties, the cheerful scent of grapefruit adds a cheerful burst of freshness to any product. You can add the oil to toners, moisturizers, lotions—even shampoos and conditioners. One thing to be aware of is that certain properties of grapefruit oil can react with the sun, so be sure to wear proper sun protection.
Perfumes
Grapefruit oil is a top note in fragrance terminology. This means that it is the first scent you notice when smelling a perfume. Top notes tend to be highly volatile, meaning they dissipate the quickest. Grapefruit offers an uplifting, summery aroma that is a popular addition to many designer fragrances, including Clinique’s Clinique Happy Summer, and Ralph Lauren’s Big Pony 1, among others.
Soap Making
Grapefruit essential oil uses for soapmaking are quite popular. Grapefruit oil’s uplifting aroma brings a big burst of cheer to any soap it's in. Grapefruit pairs wells with many other aromas, offering endless options. You will want to use around 3.25 teaspoons of grapefruit oil for every one pound of soap you are making, assuming you aren’t blending in any other oils. That is a 3% dilution rate, which is what you should be aiming for when making soaps.
DIY Essential Oil Perfume
Making your own perfume is a great way to avoid synthetics and other irritants that make their way into the commercial perfumes you see in stores.
Materials:
Dark, glass roll-on bottle
1 tbsp of a carrier oil (we recommend Sweet Almond or Jojoba, as they are mild in terms of their own scent)
2 tbsp of vodka or pure-grain alcohol *this is added to help the oils combine, and it also helps the scent last longer before dissipating
1 tbsp distilled or filtered water
Essential oil (10 grapefruit, 10 Ylang-Ylang, 2 drops of vanilla)
Instructions:
In a small glass container add first your carrier oil, and then the alcohol
Add essential oils
Add water using a dropper
