About this ingredient
Citrus Grandis Fruit Extract is an extract of grapefruit, used in cosmetics for its scent and a toning, fresh feel. It often accompanies refreshing formulas and products built around a citrus sensory profile. As a skincare active its role is secondary. It brings plant antioxidants and freshness, but it is not a treatment with proven efficacy against wrinkles, pigmentation or texture; it works more as a sensory and supporting component. For topical use it has no systemic relevance, so it can be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding. General tolerance is good, but allergy potential is moderate: citrus extracts can sensitize people reactive to this kind of plant. On sensitive skin it is best introduced gradually, and watch that the formula does not promote photosensitivity if it includes associated citrus essential oils.
