doTERRA White Grapefruit essential oil: A refreshing citrus experience

The essential oil of doTERRA White Grapefruit (Citrus X paradisi) is cold-pressed from the fresh peel of the fruit to preserve nature's citrusy, invigorating power. It gets its name from its light, white peel colour, and although it is less sweet than the pink variety, its fruity and fresh scent is just as distinctive and enjoyable. The aroma of the oil is pleasant and refreshing, making it an ideal choice for your everyday life. A few drops in an acai bowl or smoothie in the morning – and the day gets off to an energetic start. Additionally, it blends perfectly with other essential oils such as black pepper, cardamom, cassia, clove, coriander, fennel, ginger, lemon, lime, rosemary, tangerine, and thyme.
