FAQs
Is this oil safe for pets?
Citrus oils can be toxic to cats and dogs. Always consult with a veterinarian before diffusing any essential oils in a home with pets.
Can I ingest this oil?
No, this product is intended for aromatic and topical use only. Do not ingest.
How long does a 50ml bottle last?
Usage depends on frequency, but with standard diffusion (3-5 drops at a time), a 50ml bottle can last for several months of consistent use.
What is a carrier oil?
A carrier oil (like coconut, jojoba, or grapeseed oil) is a base oil used to dilute essential oils to make them safe for direct skin application.
Is this oil 100% pure?
Yes, it is a pure cold-pressed extract without added synthetic fillers.
Troubleshooting
Scent is not spreading well in the room.
Ensure your diffuser is clean and the airflow vent is not obstructed. Increase the number of drops if the room is large.
Oil appears cloudy or thick.
This can happen if the oil has been stored in a cold environment. Allow the bottle to reach room temperature before use.
Skin irritation after topical use.
Wash the area immediately with mild soap and water, then apply a carrier oil to soothe the skin. Ensure higher dilution ratios next time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your oil, store the bottle in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight, as light and heat can cause the oil to oxidize.
Application Guidelines
- Diffusion: Add 3-5 drops to your diffuser water tank depending on room size.
- Topical Use: Never apply undiluted. Mix with a carrier oil like jojoba or almond oil at a ratio of 1% to 2% dilution.
- Sun Safety: Avoid applying this oil to skin that will be exposed to direct sunlight or UV rays for at least 12 hours, as grapefruit oil is highly phototoxic and can cause severe skin reactions.
- Compatibility: Compatible with most standard cold-mist or ultrasonic diffusers. Avoid using in plastic diffusers that are not rated for pure essential oils.
