- An oil we use ourselves. Like everything we sell, this is a pink grapefruit we use at home.
- Third-party tested. Outside-lab tested for purity, and made by small-batch producers.
- The same oil in every size. Pick the bottle that suits you on the Compare tab, and start small if pink grapefruit is new to you. Compare sizes.

Pink grapefruit, the peel oil of Citrus paradisi
6 benefits of Pink Grapefruit Essential Oil
A bright citrus for the diffuser
Pink grapefruit is a lively, fresh citrus for the diffuser, and a few drops fill a room with a clean, sunny scent. It's one of the easiest oils to run at home, light and cheerful without turning heavy. Add a little more until the room smells the way you want it.
A citrus lift for cleaning and room sprays
In a homemade cleaning spray or room spray, pink grapefruit adds a fresh citrus lift, the same bright smell the fruit's skin gives off. Add a little to a water-based spray for wiping surfaces or freshening the air. It works as a scent that deodorizes and freshens, not as a cleaner that does the job on its own.
In a body or facial oil
Blended into a carrier oil, pink grapefruit brings a bright, fresh citrus to a body or facial oil. It stays light on the skin and sits easily beside florals and softer woods. A little goes a long way, so keep the blend light.
The bright opening a perfumer builds on
A perfumer builds on the fast, bright opening of pink grapefruit, the part of a blend that lifts everything else. It flashes bright, then gives way to the slower, heavier materials underneath. A drop or two brings light to a heavy accord.
The everyday citrus of the range
The everyday member of the grapefruit family, pink grapefruit is softer and sweeter than most, and a good first oil for anyone new to aromatherapy. It sits alongside the hard-to-find connoisseur oils in our range without asking much of you. Bright and forgiving, you can use it freely.
Honestly labeled, sun caution and all
This is a citrus oil we label plainly, pink grapefruit taken from the fruit's rind. We tell you up front that it needs a carrier for the skin and comes with a sun caution, rather than bury it. An honest label is part of what you get from us.
How to use
Diffuser
In the airStart with 3 to 5 drops in a water diffuser for a medium room, then add a drop at a time until it smells right to you. Pink grapefruit is bright and carries well, so a little is plenty. Diffuse for 30 to 60 minutes, then give the room a break for the same time, with fresh air moving.
On the skin
TopicalPink grapefruit is phototoxic, so keep treated skin out of the sun for 12 hours after you apply it. For the skin, blend 2 drops into 30 ml of a carrier oil such as jojoba, well under the level where grapefruit oil can react in sunlight. Patch test a small spot on the inner forearm and wait a day before wider use. We do not use this oil neat.
Around the home
On surfacesFor a citrus surface spray, shake about 10 drops into 2 cups of water and use it to wipe down counters and other hard surfaces. Keep this one to surfaces, not skin, since it isn't carried in an oil. Shake it again before each use, because the oil and water separate.

3 dropsPink Grapefruit Essential Oil
2 dropsBergamot Essential Oil
2 dropsLavender Essential Oil
Method. Add the drops to a water diffuser and run it for 30 to 60 minutes. The bergamot deepens the citrus while the lavender rounds it off, so the pink grapefruit stays the brightest part.
30 mlCarrier Oil, such as Jojoba
2 dropsPink Grapefruit Essential Oil
2 dropsLavender Essential Oil
Method. Combine the drops with the carrier oil in a small bottle and roll it between your palms before use. Grapefruit oil is phototoxic, so this body oil isn't for skin that will meet the sun within 12 hours.
2 cupsWater
10 dropsPink Grapefruit Essential Oil
Method. Shake the drops through the water, then wipe it over countertops and other hard, wipe-clean spots. It's for surfaces, never skin, so leave it out of body blends. Rouse it each time, and make only what you'll use soon.

Frequently asked questions
7 answers drawn from the product specification and our own use of this oil.
Yes, pink grapefruit essential oil is phototoxic. Because it is pressed from the peel, grapefruit, like lemon and lime, reacts with sunlight on skin, so wait at least 12 hours before that skin sees the sun. Blend it into a carrier first, and know that distilled citrus oils do not carry the same caution. This is the caution the bottle itself already states.
Yes, once mixed into a carrier and never used neat, pink grapefruit oil is safe on skin. Use about 2 drops in 30 ml of carrier, and do a patch test on the inside of your wrist first. As a citrus oil from the rind, give the treated skin at least 12 hours away from the sun. Start low, because a little travels far.
No, not without checking with your clinician first, because there is no clear safety data for pink grapefruit oil in pregnancy. Pregnancy is a time to be careful with any essential oil. If your midwife or doctor is fine with it, keep it in a carrier, mind the 12-hour sun caution for any skin use, and lean mostly on the diffuser. When in doubt, leave it out.
Yes, older children can be around pink grapefruit oil in a light diffuser blend or a well-carried body oil, but keep it away from babies and the youngest children. Use less of it for young skin than you would for an adult, introduce it slowly, and keep that skin out of strong sunlight for the 12 hours after any body-oil use. Keep the bottle out of reach and stored safely. Ask your pediatrician if you're unsure.
Yes, an opened bottle changes over time, because citrus oils oxidize once they meet air. Keep it closed, cool and out of the light, and pink grapefruit oil will hold its bright citrus longer. Buy a size you'll use rather than a large bottle that sits open. An oil that has gone flat or sharp is past its best.
The difference between pink and white grapefruit oil is mostly in the scent, with the pink running rounder and sweeter and less sharp. Red and pink types are generally the sweetest of the grapefruits. Both come from the rind of Citrus × paradisi and both are bright, fresh citrus oils. Ours is the pink type, from the USA.
Pink grapefruit blends well with bergamot, lavender and vetiver, and it lifts almost any citrus, floral or wood. Use it where you want a bright citrus opening over softer, heavier oils. Keep it light in the mix, since a little carries a long way.
