Description

Oils, Grapefruit, Terpene-Free is a specialized, high-value botanical extract derived from Citrus paradisi. This product is distinguished by its removal of terpenes, resulting in a more stable, concentrated, and less volatile oil with enhanced solubility and a consistent aromatic profile. It is essential for formulators requiring reliable, non-irritating natural ingredients with extended shelf life. Key industries that utilize this material include premium fragrance and flavor creation, advanced cosmetic and personal care products, and nutraceutical applications.
