Grapefruit Seed Extract

Grapefruit seed extract is derived from the seeds and pulp of the grapefruit (Citrus × paradisi), a citrus fruit that originated in the Caribbean during the 18th century as a natural hybrid between the pomelo and sweet orange. Historically, grapefruit was cultivated primarily for its flavorful fruit, while extracts from its seeds and pulp became more widely developed for commercial use during the late 20th century. Today, grapefruit seed extract is used in a variety of all-natural personal care products, soaps, cosmetics, and household formulations, where it is valued as a naturally derived botanical ingredient.
