It`s also considered a natural stress-fighter, anti-inflammatory agent, antioxidant food and anticarcinogenic agent. Even though the pulp of grapefruit has plenty of its own benefits - including being a popular fat-burning food - grapefruit essential oil actually comes from the peel of the fruit, which holds a range of beneficial volatile compounds. As one of the most versatile essential oils, the aroma of grapefruit oil is clean, fresh and a little bit bitter, just like the actual fruit itself. It has the signature taste and smell of citrus fruits, which is why many people like to use it in natural household cleaning products and homemade beauty lotions, soaps or cosmetics.
