Grapefruit Hydrosol
Citrus paradisii
Grapefruit Hydrosol is such a bright, happy uplifting aromatic water to work with. The aroma of Grapefruit Hydrosol is citrusy, tangy and sweet. It's aroma is refreshing and energizing like its essential oil counterpart.
Grapefruit Hydrosol isn't as commonly available because most Grapefruit Essential Oil that is commercially available is cold pressed, not distilled. As we know, most hydrosols on the market are a secondary product of essential oil distillation.
The best citrus hydrosols originate from experienced artisan distillers that use copper stills (that actually can hold true for most all hydrosols), so please keep that in mind when looking for grapefruit and other citrus hydrosols. Grapefruit Hydrosol is a beautifully aromatic and refreshing hydrosol when sourced from artisan distillers.
