pink grapefruit rind
binomial name: citrus paradisi
designed by nature to protect the inner seeds of the grapefruit, the peel contains a rich source of nutrients and vitamins that protect the skin as well. plucked from the sunny groves of florida, the richer the shade of pink, the more benefits it possesses.
benefit: a valuable source of anti-aging compounds, the pink grapefruit is a significantly richer source of vitamin a and carotene than white grapefruit. like the fruit inside, the peel is abundant in antioxidants that reduce skin damage and rid the skin of excess oily toxins to brighten the complexion. naturally occurring enzymes act as a gentle re-texturizing peel that exfoliates and increases cellular turnover, improving tone and diminishing hyper-pigmentation.
