About

Combined steam distillate aqueous solution from Citrus grandis (grapefruit) fruit and peel, subject to EU Annex III furanocoumarin restriction.

Citrus Grandis Fruit/Peel Water is the aqueous solution from steam distillation of both fruit and peel from pomelo/grapefruit (Citrus grandis). EU Annex III entry II/358 applies due to significant furanocoumarin content in C. grandis, particularly in the peel. The combined fruit and peel sourcing makes this one of the more restricted materials in this batch. The restriction limits use in leave-on cosmetic products and mandates specific labelling for compliance with EU cosmetics regulation.
