| IFRA Critical Effect: | | Phototoxicity |
| IFRA fragrance material specification: | | | Where the bergapten (5-methoxypsoralen) content of all relevant oils present in a compound has been determined, it is recommended that for applications on areas of skin exposed to sunshine, excluding bath preparations, soaps and other products which are washed off the skin, the total level of bergapten in the consumer products should not exceed 0.0015% (15 ppm). This is equivalent to 0.0075% (75 ppm) in a fragrance compound used at 20% in the consumer product.
Where the level of bergapten has not been determined by appropriate methods, the limits specified in the guidelines on individual oils should apply.
In those cases, where such oils are used in combination with other phototoxic ingredients, the additive effect has to be taken into consideration and the use levels have to be reduced accordingly. The sum of the concentrations of all phototoxic fragrance ingredients, expressed in % of their recommended maximum level in the consumer product, shall not exceed 100. |

Grapefruit Oil is a mobile, yellowish to greenish yellow or pale orange yellow oil, possessing a fresh citrusy, rather sweet odor and a similar taste. As mentioned above, the bitterness particularly known from European and middle eastern fruits and peels, is no longer found in today's American grapefruit oil.
The odor resembles that of sweet orange oil to a certain degree, but also has notes in common with bitter orange oil.
