I was very happy with this oil - it's the first time I've used white grapefruit EO. I used it in a citrus blend room spray that is so uplifting due to the bright and cheery nature of this oil.

I was pleasantly surprised when I gave this vial a sniff. I don't usually care for grapefruit but I used this in a body lotion and it is by far my favorite. The aroma is light and clear and it just makes me happy when I smell it.
For a lotion I didn't need much so what I have will go a long way. I do not intend to use it in my cold process soaps due to the low flashpoint but it could work in hot process perhaps.
I am very happy with this oil.

Use this oil diluted to kill Mold! Grapefruit [~90%]works as well as Tea Tree Oil [~90%](without the lingering scent), better than vinegar and bleach[both~80%!

This EO has a similar profile to Pink Grapefruit but lacks the strong sweetness. It smells just like a fresh-cut grapefruit, and is sharp, energizing, and great for evoking a sense of "clean". Blends well with floral notes to impart complexity without overwhelming sweetness. Try it, it's cheap!

I use White Grapefruit essential oil in my CP soaps and it provides a very clean aroma to the soaps, especially for those who do not want a strong fragrance. It doesn't discolor CP soaps and has been a long standing favorite of many. Awesome, true aroma I know you'll enjoy!

This grapefruit essential oil is wonderful. Just smelling it from the bottle is mouthwatering. I love mixing it with flower essential oils, and waxes for a wonderful tropical scent that will take you away to that island retreat.

This grapefruit has a more bitter than sweet quality, as opposed to the pink grapefruit which is much sweeter in nature. Both grapefruits, however make for very powerful & effective appetite suppressants! We add this oil to Camden Gery's bergamot in one of our soaps and they blend beautifully together.

I used this in a cream, with just a couple drops of vanilla. It is an awesome smelling fragrance and leaves the skin so silky smooth. Love it.
Thanks for browsing thru this section which contains answers to many questions that are often asked of us. Here we explain where to locate CofA and SDS for a product, how we dispense and package our products, how products should be stored, basic terminology and the wait time for bulk products to ship from our warehouse. FYI: We're closed on Fridays.
Certificate of Analysis (CofA) and Safety Data Sheet (SDS). We publish on our website those documents for most of our products, some products don't provide either because the product doesn't require it. In this same section where you're at now, look to the tab to the left titled Documents, click on it and that's where you'll find either document for the product you seek. If you do not find the document you require, please email us at customerservice@camdengrey.com so we can research further.
BULK ITEMS: When a customer adds a bulk item to the cart, the customer’s immediately shown on the screen how many number of days should be allowed for the bulk product to arrive at our warehouse. If the bulk item happens to be in stock, we’ll ship sooner than the customer would expect. As we emerge from Covid, logistics operations are not yet back to normal, what used to arrive at our warehouse in 3 days now takes much longer. Should a vendor inform us the ordered product will take longer than what’s mentioned on our website we’ll email the customer with the latest information.
TERMINOLOGY:
EO = essential oil
FO = fragrance oil
HOW PRODUCTS ARE DISPENSED...
BOTTLING/PACKAGING:
Essential oils: in 1/32 oz. to 1/4 oz...amber glass vials with orifice reducers. ½ oz. to 2 oz...in amber glass bottles with white caps and Eurodroppers...3 to 4 oz. in amber glass bottles with black caps and without orifice reducers...7 oz. in aluminum bottles...15 oz. in amber glass bottles with black caps...10 & 25 lbs. in HDPE plastic containers with wide mouths although, occasionally, 25 lbs. may be dispensed in factory-issued metal containers with pouring spouts.
28 lbs. of carrier oils and other liquids are dispensed in individual HDPE plastic gallon containers with handles, each holds the purchased net weight of liquid.
30+ lbs. of carrier oils, other liquids, soft butters, Castile gel and other products are dispensed in plastic HDPE pails w/metal handles & pouring spouts in the lid; those products may remain inside the pails indefinitely when properly stored. After Covid, we reserve the right to use any packaging/dispensing container available to us and not mentioned above because it continues to be difficult many times to restock the same packaging container or material used in the past.
NOTE: An EO may safely remain inside an aluminum container for up to 3 months, but if storing longer than 3 months the oil should be transferred to amber glass. Fragrances and carrier oils up to 8 lbs. may remain inside HDPE plastic bottles indefinitely. If the customer at any time feels more comfortable transferring a product to glass this should be done. ALL PRODUCTS ARE DISPENSED BY WEIGHT, THUS, SOME CONTAINERS MAY BE FILLED HIGHER THAN OTHERS DEPENDING ON THE WEIGHT AND VISCOSITY OF EACH PRODUCT.
Raw materials/ingredients are dispensed by weight. Many customers ask how many ounces in a pound, there are 16 ounces in one pound. These are not fluid ounces, they are ounces by weight.
HOW TO STORE: EOs, FOs and BUTTERS should be stored in tightly-sealed containers away from direct light and heat. Some EOs could be highly flammable, keep away from open flames. Keep all liquids and powders you purchase from Camden-Grey tightly capped and away from the reach of children, the elderly or infirm and pets. Refrigerating butters could adversely affect the consistency of the butter, please join our Forum if you need to learn how to handle, work with and store products.
