Citrus Paradisi Peel Oil
Citrus Paradisi Peel Oil is the cold-pressed essential oil extracted from the rind of fresh grapefruits. It has a bright, zesty aroma and is widely used in UK skincare and haircare to bring a refreshing scent and gentle cleansing properties to formulas. A popular choice in natural beauty products, it is valued for its uplifting fragrance and ability to help skin feel clean and toned.
How it works in skincare
In cosmetics and skincare, Citrus Paradisi Peel Oil functions primarily as a fragrance ingredient and natural astringent. Its light, citrusy volatile compounds provide an instantly refreshing scent while helping to dissolve excess sebum and impurities on the skin’s surface. Formulators often include it in cleansers, toners, body washes and hair products for its ability to impart a clean, invigorated feel without the need for synthetic perfumes.
