Grapefruit Historical Snippets:
The name Grapefruit translates to ‘forbidden fruit’, which goes hand in hand with its origin. Due to the lack of documentation on the fruit, there are only theories surrounding how grapefruit came about. The most well-known theory is of shaddock seeds being left in Barbados during the 18th century by an Englishman named captain Shaddock.

Shelf Life of Grapefruit Essential Oil:
Our freshly decanted Grapefruit essential oil will last for 1-2 years minimum from when you open your amber glass bottle if stored correctly:
Primary Storage Considerations:
Keep away from direct light (U.V. radiation)
Keep in the amber glass bottle with lid tightly closed. Only open when you need to and decant into a smaller "working" amber glass bottle if possible (and label so you know what is in it). This is to reduce oxidation.
Secondary Storage Considerations:
Keep in a refrigerator at around 4 degrees celsius.
The exotic characteristics of Grapefruit essential oil may help you relax while giving you a spiritual ‘uplift’.
Grapefruit essential oil has a slightly bitter and fresh citrus aroma and may help you ease fatigue and muscle stiffness. It also has clarifying properties that may help with acne and oily skin.
Grapefruit essential oil blends well with other Citrus oil blends and Spice oils.
