What it is

In the register’s words: “Citrus Grandis Fruit Extract is an extract of the fruit of the Grapefruit, Citrus grandis, Rutaceae.”

EU register name (INCI)
CITRUS GRANDIS FRUIT EXTRACT
CAS number
90045-43-5 / 8016-20-4
EC number
289-904-6 / -

Labels often add a second name in brackets, so a label may say Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit) Fruit Extract where the register says CITRUS GRANDIS FRUIT EXTRACT. Both are the same ingredient.

What the register lists it for

These are the uses the European Commission’s CosIng register lists for Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit) Fruit Extract in any cosmetic, hair roles first. They say why a maker might add it, not what it does in one formula, and they aren’t a safety rating.

Perfuming

Used as a perfume or scent material. Essential oils and their scent compounds, such as linalool and limonene, carry this role.

Register definition: “Used for perfume and aromatic raw materials.”

Astringent

Gives skin a tighter feel. Witch hazel and some plant extracts carry this role.

Register definition: “Contracting and/or tightening the skin.”

Skin conditioning

The register’s broad role for ingredients that keep skin in good condition. On a hair label it often sits beside a hair role, or marks a plant oil or extract.

Register definition: “Maintaining the skin in good condition.”

Tonic

The register’s role for ingredients said to give skin and hair a feeling of well-being. Many plant extracts carry it.

Register definition: “Producing a feeling of well-being on skin and hair.”

Where it sits on each label

US labels list ingredients from most to least, except that those at 1% or less may follow in any order. A name near the top is a large part of the formula. A label doesn’t mark where the 1% point falls, so further down, the order says little about how much is in it.

Every label, product by product (2)

Each line runs from the first name on a label to the last; a dot is where this ingredient sits. Makers change formulas now and then; if the list on your bottle differs, go by your bottle.
