Cold-expressed from the fresh peels of organically grown fruit, this oil is a gentle yet powerful ally for clearing mental fog, easing feelings of heaviness, and awakening optimism — especially through long, grey seasons.

Precautions / Contraindications:
Pink Grapefruit is phototoxic — avoid applying to skin before sun or UV exposure; it may cause burns or blisters. Generally non-toxic, non-irritating, and non-sensitizing, but best used fresh, as citrus oils deteriorate quickly. Never ingest essential oils.
Keep all oils out of the reach of children, lids secured in a cool, dark place.
