Grapefruit essential oil can be used in different ways, depending on what you want to use it for. It can be consumed as an infusion, essential oil, massage oil, grapefruit water or in cooking. However, the recommended doses and precautions for use must be respected, because grapefruit essential oil can have undesirable effects if used incorrectly or overdosed.

It is important to choose a grapefruit essential oil without furocoumarins to avoid photosensitizing risks. They increase the skin's sensitivity to the sun. Using grapefruit oil containing furocoumarins on the skin risks developing skin reactions, such as redness, burning, blisters or brown spots.
At SOWÉ, we only use essential oils without furocoumarins.
