Technique of extraction method:

Grapefruit oil is extracted from the rind of the grapefruit plant. Grapefruit has a sweet, invigorating scent that may arise in feelings of joy, satisfaction, and playfulness. Many of grapefruit essential oil’s benefits are due to one of its main constituents called limonene (which makes up about 88 percent to 95 percent of the oil). Limonene is known to be a tumor-fighting, cancer-preventative phytochemical that protects DNA and cells from damage. In addition to limonene, grapefruit essential oil contains other powerful antioxidants, including vitamin C, myrcene, terpinene, pinene and citronellol.
