HOW TO USE
For Aromatherapy
Add about 4-5 drops of Iryasa Grapefruit essential oil for every 100ml (3.3 fl.oz) of water in a diffuser. This tangy, refreshing scent is very comforting and will brighten up your day and rejuvenate your mind, body & soul.
You may need to increase/decrease the number of drops depending on the size of the room and where your diffuser is kept. For instance, you'd probably need less number of drops for a smaller or less ventilated room. Since the intensity of scents are such a personal preference, we recommend that you start with less and work your way up as needed.
For Topical Application
When diluted with a suitable carrier oil such as Jojoba oil or Sweet Almond oil, it is effective in treating wounds, cuts, bruises, acne and other microbial infections.
Use 8 drops of pure Grapefruit oil in 30ml (1 fl.oz) of carrier oil to make a 1% dilution.

Specific to Grapefruit Essential Oil
-
We always recommend performing a patch test, especially if you are using Grapefruit oil for the first time on your skin
-
Grapefruit oil may cause skin sensitisation if it is old or oxidised so always keep the cap tightly closed to avoid oxidation.

Grapefruit oil presents a low risk of phototoxicity compared to some other citrus oils like Bergamot, Lemon and Sweet Orange. Therefore, it can be used as a substitute for up to 4% dilution, especially if the skin is to be exposed to sunlight.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What are some of the different ways I can use Grapefruit Essential Oil?
Grapefruit essential oil has a naturally potent & refreshing scent, making it a clean, plant-based deodoriser. Make your own car air freshener with a couple of drops of this oil on a felt ball attached to a string and tie it to your rear view mirror. The fresh, sweet, citrus aroma will keep you cheerful through your ride!
I can’t drink Grapefruit juice because it interferes with my medication. Will Grapefruit essential oil do the same?
Grapefruit juice contains dihydroxybergamottin, a chemical that is known to interfere with many different medications. However, it is not contained in the cold-pressed essential oil, so it is safe to use Grapefruit essential oil for aromatherapy and topical applications (when diluted appropriately) for those who need to avoid the juice.
For topical application, always perform a patch test to ensure no allergies or sensitivities to this oil and consult a physician before use especially if you are on regular medication.
