About the Plant

The grapefruit tree (Citrus paradisii) is a large citrus tree, belonging to the Rutaceae family, which can reach between 5 and 15 meters in height. It is characterized by its perennial, dense, and bright green foliage, and by its voluminous fruits, with yellow or slightly pink peel, with an acidic and refreshing juice. It is considered a natural hybrid between the pomelo (Citrus maxima) and the sweet orange tree (Citrus sinensis).

The grapefruit tree thrives in tropical and subtropical climates, with constant heat, moderate humidity, and abundant sun exposure. It prefers well-drained soils and is mainly cultivated in regions such as Florida, Israel, Argentina, and South Africa. Its fruits are harvested by hand and the peels are cold-pressed to extract the essential oil, preserving all aromatic and active compounds.

Grapefruit essential oil is highly valued in aromatherapy for its toning, draining, and purifying properties. Its fresh and citrus aroma is often used to stimulate well-being, combat fatigue, and support body care routines. It is also a valuable ingredient in natural cosmetics and massage preparations.
