About hair & scalp oil
Can I add it to my shampoo instead?
Yes. Add 2 drops of Grapefruit to a palmful of shampoo, wash and rinse well. It rinses off, so there's no sun note.
Can I leave the scalp oil in?
No. Wash it out the same day.
Will it make my hair greasy?
Only until you wash it. Jojoba rinses out with shampoo.
About fresh home scent
Can I make a room spray with it?
Yes: 15 drops of the blend in 100 ml of water with a tablespoon of witch hazel or vodka. Shake before each use and spray into the air, not on wood or fabric.
How many drops go in a diffuser?
Six drops for a standard 100 to 200 ml diffuser: 3 Grapefruit, 2 Spearmint, 1 Lime. Add a drop of Grapefruit if the room is large.
Is it safe to diffuse around pets?
Diffuse in a ventilated room for 30 to 60 minutes, and make sure your pet can leave the room. Ask your vet first for cats and birds.
About perfume & roll-on blends
Can I wear it in the sun?
Grapefruit can make skin react to sunlight. Wherever you wear it, keep that skin out of strong sun and sunbeds for 12 hours. Wear it in the evening, or where your clothes cover it.
How strong should a roll-on be?
This one uses 6 drops in 10 ml, about 3%. Keep Grapefruit to 4 drops (2%) in a 10 ml roller.
Why does the citrus fade first?
Grapefruit is a top note: it's the first thing you smell and the first to go. Patchouli stays on the skin longer.
About soap & candle making
When do I add the oils?
At about 80°C, stirring for a minute. Citrus oils are light: in hotter wax more of the scent burns off.
How much essential oil goes in soap?
About 1 to 2% of the base. The soap in the Complete routine uses 70 drops (3.5 ml) in 225 g.
Is citrus OK in soap?
Yes. Soap rinses off, so the sun note for Grapefruit on skin doesn't apply to it.
Everything else
Which grapefruit is this?
Citrus paradisi, sourced from Italy. Sharper and a little more bitter than sweet orange.
Can I put it straight on my skin?
No. Mix it into a carrier oil first and patch test on your inner arm 24 hours before. Grapefruit can make skin react to sunlight. Wherever you wear it, keep that skin out of strong sun and sunbeds for 12 hours.
Which size should I pick?
Most people pick Complete. Routines over $50 ship free, and over $75 they also get a free Eucalyptus. The Starter is the three items one recipe needs; the Collection adds two more.
Do I save when I buy more than one?
Yes, on everything in your cart: 2 items 10% off, 3 to 5 items 15% off, 6 or more 20% off. It's applied automatically.
When does my order ship free?
When the products in your cart come to $50 or more after discounts. A free Eucalyptus is added at $75 and a free Lemon at $95. Shipping Protection doesn't count toward these.
What if I don't like it?
