Citrus Grandis Extract

Citrus Grandis Extract is derived from the grapefruit plant (Citrus grandis). Like other citrus extracts, it contains naturally occurring compounds including flavonoids and organic acids that have been used in skincare formulations for their potential antimicrobial and skin-conditioning effects.In cosmetic products, this ingredient is typically used to help maintain skin clarity and support the skin's natural defence mechanisms, whilst also contributing to the overall conditioning and feel of a formula.

Citrus Grandis Extract contains bioactive compounds, particularly flavonoids, which possess antimicrobial properties. These work by inhibiting the growth of certain bacteria on the skin's surface, which can be beneficial for maintaining a balanced skin microbiome.The extract also functions as a skin conditioner, helping to improve moisture retention and skin feel. The precise mechanisms are not fully understood in all cases, but the cumulative effect of these compounds supports skin health and barrier function.

Citrus Grandis Extract is typically incorporated into cleansers, toners, and serums where its antimicrobial and conditioning properties can be utilised. It is generally well-suited to daily use as part of a broader skincare routine. If using multiple citrus-based products, monitor your skin for any signs of irritation.

Citrus extracts are generally well-tolerated by most skin types. Those with citrus sensitivity or very sensitive skin should patch test first, as citrus-derived ingredients can occasionally cause irritation in susceptible individuals.
