broken image

GRAPEFRUIT Essential Oil can provide an uplifting environment due to its invigorating and energizing aroma, while acting as a purifying agent when added to a skin care routine.

Referred to as a “forbidden fruit” and one of the “Seven Wonders of Barbados,” GRAPEFRUIT was first documented in 1750 by Welshman Rev. Griffith Hughes. The name “GRAPEFRUIT” is attributed to the fruits growing in clusters which resemble those of grapes.

GRAPEFRUIT is also renowned for its cleansing and purifying properties and is frequently used in skin care for its ability to promote the appearance of clear, healthy-looking skin. GRAPEFRUIT can also support a healthy metabolism.
