About

Grapefruit fruit water — a hydrating citrus distillate, but subject to EU Annex II/358 restrictions due to phototoxic furocoumarin concerns in grapefruit derivatives.

Citrus Grandis Fruit Water is an aqueous solution of the steam distillate obtained from grapefruit (Citrus grandis, Rutaceae) fruit. It typically contains aromatic compounds and water-soluble actives from the fruit. However, it falls under EU Annex II entry 358, which restricts certain Citrus grandis derivatives due to the phototoxicity risk from furocoumarins. Steam-distilled waters generally contain minimal furocoumarins (which are not very volatile), but the regulatory listing requires compliance verification. When furocoumarin-free, it can be a pleasant, antioxidant-rich hydrating toner.
