What does Grapefruit Essential Oil smell like?

Bright, tangy, and slightly bitter-sweet, true to the fruit itself.

Is Pink Grapefruit different from regular Grapefruit Essential Oil?

Pink grapefruit is a variety of the same fruit, generally with a similar bright citrus character.

Can I apply this essential oil directly to my skin?

Not as a standalone oil — on its own, it's intended for diffuser use only. You'll already find it safely blended into a number of our topical products, though.

What it does in a formulation

Why Lovebee uses it

Grapefruit has such an energizing, upbeat brightness — we like working it into blends that want a citrusy lift with a little more edge than sweeter orange notes give.
