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.
