Referred to as a “forbidden fruit” and one of the “Seven Wonders of Barbados,” grapefruit was first documented in 1750 by Welshman Rev. Griffith Hughes.
 
The name “grapefruit” is attributed to the fruits growing in clusters which resemble those of grapes. Known for its energizing and invigorating aroma, Grapefruit essential oil helps create an uplifting environment when diffused or used topically.
 
Grapefruit is also renowned for its cleansing and purifying properties and is frequently used in skin care for its ability to promote the appearance of clear, healthy-looking skin.
 
Grapefruit, thanks to its high level of limonene, may support a healthy metabolism when used internally, based on preliminary research.
