Everything about our masks!

We continue the botanical beauty saga with certified organic grapefruit essential oil, a natural extract with multiple benefits that we absolutely loved. Grapefruit or Pomelo, what's the difference? First of all, we need to clarify one point! The fruit we know as grapefruit (which you will find in the list of ingredients of our formula under the Latin name Citrus x Paradisi ) is actually a Pomelo and the essential oil is a Pomelo oil! The term "grapefruit," which we use every day, is a misnomer according to botanists and agronomists. For them, the grapefruit has nothing to do with the round, pink-fleshed fruit we eat in salads or juice. It's an enormous citrus fruit that can weigh up to 8 kg (its Latin name is Citrus maxima, which says it all), and is much more bitter and acidic than its cousin, the pomelo. The "grapefruit" is actually a Pomelo. Pomelo, or Citrus x Paradisi from its Latin name Let's get back to our Pomelo. This lovely fruit comes from a hybrid tree, a cross between a grapefruit tree and a sweet orange tree, and belongs to the Rutaceae family. And since the fruit grows in clusters, that's why in English it's called grapefruit. You'll really be able to impress your friends with all this knowledge, but in the meantime, let's get down to business: its essential oil and its benefits! Grapefruits grow in clusters on their tree. A gifted essential oil Grapefruit (or rather, pomelo) essential oil is obtained by steam distillation of the fruit's dried peel. Approximately 250 kg of peel are needed to produce 1 kg of essential oil… This oil is particularly valued for its stimulating and astringent properties. It is also beneficial for dull complexions and blemish-prone skin thanks to its purifying and decongesting properties. Used in body care products and oils, it is also an excellent draining agent to combat water retention and cellulite. Its fruity fragrance inspires vitality and good cheer, and proves to be an excellent stress reliever. Some also say it stimulates creativity. When used in a diffuser, it also purifies the air in the home. Pure bliss… The star ingredient in our anti-fatigue mask: We have therefore selected certified organic grapefruit essential oil in the Les Poulettes Paris anti-fatigue mask for its toning properties. The formula contains revitalizing rose water rich in vitamin C, as well as moisturizing agents, of course. Because tired skin is often synonymous with dehydrated skin!

Note: We recommend that pregnant women not use the anti-fatigue mask during the first 3 months of pregnancy since our star ingredient is an essential oil, and that they opt for the other masks in the range in the meantime.
