Grapefruit (pink) Essential Oil
Grapefruit (pink) Essential Oil
Pink Grapefruit Essential Oil (Citrus paradisi)
Pink Grapefruit (Citrus paradisi) is cold-expressed from the peel of the fruit, sourced from South Africa, producing a pale yellow to reddish-orange, thin, mobile liquid with a sweet, juicy citrus aroma that's softer and more rounded than white grapefruit. As a top note, it lifts a blend instantly with its bright, cheerful character.
Pink Grapefruit is a popular choice for diffuser blends and room sprays aimed at inspiring positivity and a light-hearted sense of wellbeing, and its toning, clarifying qualities make it a favourite in skincare formulations for oily or congested skin, as well as in refreshing massage, bath and haircare blends.
This one deserves a little extra care: Pink Grapefruit Essential Oil is combustible, a skin irritant and sensitiser, carries a serious aspiration hazard if swallowed, and is very toxic to aquatic life. Like other cold-pressed citrus peel oils, it's also phototoxic — avoid sun or UV exposure (including sunbeds) on treated skin for at least 12 hours after use. Always dilute well before topical use and patch test first.

Uses ▼
Diffuser & mood-lifting blends
A few drops in a diffuser brings a bright, juicy citrus lift to a room, making Pink Grapefruit a popular choice for uplifting blends and cheerful home fragrance.
Skincare for oily & congested skin
Well diluted, Pink Grapefruit's toning and clarifying qualities make it a favourite in skincare formulations aimed at oily or congested skin.
Massage, bath & haircare blends
Diluted in a carrier oil or dispersed in the bath, Pink Grapefruit adds a fresh, revitalising note to massage and body blends, and is also popular in haircare for leaving hair feeling fresh and looking glossy.
Blends Well With
| Although essential oils blend well with one another, Pink Grapefruit oil goes particularly well with other essential oils such as bergamot, geranium, juniper berry, lavender, lemon, orange, peppermint and rosemary. |
Usage & Formulation Guide ▼
For soap makers, natural perfumers and cosmetic formulators. These are starting points, not finished formulas — always confirm compliance, stability and safety (including IFRA usage limits and phototoxicity) for your own finished product before use.
Fine Fragrance & Perfumery Accord
Pink Grapefruit is a lively citrus top note — try it at 3-6% of the fragrance concentrate to add sparkle to a blend, or pair with Bergamot and Lavender for a fresh, clean opening.
Skincare & Massage Oil Inclusion Rate
Pink Grapefruit is phototoxic in leave-on, UV-exposed products, so keep these to around 1-2% of the total formulation and warn users to avoid sun exposure after use; rinse-off products can use it more freely.
Aromatherapy & Diffuser Blend
For an uplifting blend, try 2 drops Pink Grapefruit with 2 drops Lavender and 1 drop Geranium; for an energising morning blend, combine 2 drops Pink Grapefruit with 2 drops Rosemary and 1 drop Peppermint.
Cold-Process Soap
Pink Grapefruit performs well in cold-process soap at 3-5% of total oil weight, though its scent fades faster than heavier oils through cure; pairing with Bergamot or Juniper Berry helps the citrus character last longer.
