Grapefruit Peel Extract (PG)

Grapefruit Peel Extract (PG) is a water-free, glycerin-free botanical extract made with grapefruit peel botanical material and propylene glycol. This cosmetic formulator-grade extract is designed for skincare, body care, hair care, and cosmetic formulations that need a citrus botanical ingredient associated with refreshed-looking, radiance-supporting, aromatic, and skin-conditioning cosmetic benefits.

Grapefruit peel, botanically associated with Citrus paradisi, is commonly used in cosmetic formulations for products focused on fresh-feeling, soft, smooth, and radiant-looking skin. It is naturally associated with citrus flavonoids, fruit acids, and aromatic botanical components, making it a popular choice for facial serums, toners, gels, lotions, creams, soaps, body washes, body milks, scalp care products, and citrus-inspired cosmetic formulations.

This extract is made without added water and without glycerin. Propylene glycol is used as the botanical extraction solvent and carrier, making this extract suitable for formulators who prefer PG-based botanical ingredients for easy incorporation into water-based, water-compatible, and emulsion-based cosmetic systems.

Grapefruit Peel Extract (PG) is ideal for cosmetic formulators, DIY skincare makers, private-label developers, and small-batch beauty brands creating citrus-inspired serums, refreshing-feel toners, lightweight gels, lotions, creams, soaps, body care products, hair care products, and botanical cosmetic formulations.

This is a cosmetic raw ingredient for formulation use only. Do not apply directly to the skin undiluted.
