Additional information

KOBASHI GRAPEFRUIT OIL 100% Pure

Uplifting, good skin toner and hair tonic especially for oily skin. Helpful as a treatment in times of confusion or depression. We tested many grapefruit samples before finding this complete oil. A small but important chemical called Nootkatone, a sesquiterpene ketone, usually present at 0.10 to 1.5%, is often removed for use in the fragrance/flavor industry, the remaining product is then dumped back into the market place where it is usually bought up by the Aromatherapy market. Again highlighting the need for in depth testing.

SINCE 1985, Kobashi Essential Oils has never had a problem with over a million bottles of Essential Oils that we have sold.

We do like to be extra cautious. Please read the Cautions section.

Our testing has shown that phthalates do not leach from our PETG, PET, HDPE plastic bottles or silicon used for our peristaltic pumps.

All our essential oils are stored in Amber Glass with polypropylene droppers, with a aprox 20 drops per ml ratio release. The drops per ml will vary accourding to density, viscosity, barametric pressure, gravitation G-force (ie shaking) and temperature. Usually, you will only have to tip the bottle and slightly turn to release air pressure to get a drop to flow.

Used responsibly the oils are a safe natural product, here for you to enjoy and to benefit from.

For more information on essential oils and their uses, we suggest reading the many books on the subject. To get to the truth it’s best to cross reference all publications & personal experiences.

Directions for use

To use simply add 4 to 8 drops in a vaporizer or on water in burner.

1 drop in 5ml (~teaspoon) of a carrier oil for on your skin or 1 to 6 drops in the bath, mixing the water well.

(Oil dependent see instructions on side of bottle.)

Certain oils may cause irritation and/or sensitizing and should be used in greater dilutions – they are all marked (Xn)
Some oils may need gentle warming in warm water or a warm place, (but not in a direct flame): such as Rose Otto,Vanilla (defintely), Sandalwood and Benzoin.
Add 8mls more carrier to use on skin at 2% or less pure rose, if sensitive.

Cautions

Many Aromatherapists and Practitioners prescribe Essential Oils internally. They are also used as flavorings in many foods, beverages and liqueurs, but are mixed in low dilutions (~0.1%) by professionals.

Even though, Kobashi Essential Oils and Carrier oils are as Pure and Natural as can be: we do not recommend any essential oils to be taken internally or applied undiluted to the skin – unless you are fully qualified and aware of what you are doing.

External use only. Do not ingest.

If accidentally swallowed DO NOT induce vomiting – drink at least 1 pint of water – seek medical advice. Show bottle & amount. 99.5% of Essential oils float on water.

Avoid contact with the eye area:

should this happen, immediately wash eyes thoroughly with water and repeat. Seek medical attention if stinging persists after 10 minutes.

Oils marked (S), especially Tagetes & Bergamot, should not be used on skin before exposure to the sun. Citruses have a coumarin and Furanocoumarin content, but when distilled as our Lime is, none should be found. They had been found in over 60 plants before 1937. Furanocoumarins absorb sunlight, thus should not be used on the skin when exposed to the sun. This does not apply when used in a shampoo, bath or Soap Base as most is washed away.

Some people may have allergic like reactions (allergies can only be triggered by proteins) to essential oils, just as some people are allergic to grass or pollen. Kobashi and Appleseeds Health Store can not be held responsible for any adverse reactions from their use. If you are prone to skin sensitivity and allergic reactions dilute oils to 1% or less. If in doubt of the amount for you personally, please get professional advice.

Keep oils out of reach of children!

Keep essential oils away from plastic and rubber, such as PVC and pipettes with rubber bulbs.
Many Essential oils are FLAMMABLE. Keep away from fire or ignition source. Even though some Essential oils are not Flammable, it's best to treat them as if they all are.
