Grapefruit protects you inside and out with vitamin C!

Deliciously sweet & zesty, Grapefruits are a perfect summer fruit to refresh and cool you down after a long sweltering day in the sun. But we aren't talking about eating the fruit, we are talking about using it to replenish your skin!


Grapefruit is truly a SUPER-Fruit. It's chocked full of antioxidants, vitamin C and citrus limonoids! (Okay, so it's only fair to tell you what a limonoid is... ) Limonoids are Phytochemicals that are found in citrus fruits. Grapefruits have 50x more limonoids than any other citrus fruit known to man. Currently being researched by labs all over the world, science has discovered so many benefits of this natural occurring chemical. For one, they have found that applying it directly to skin provide ultra UV protection against the suns harmful rays. It's also been known to help fight and prevent skin cancer. Internally taken, grapefruit, in general, also helps to lower cholesterol, therefore, lowering the threat of heart disease!



With the power punch of Vitamin C that grapefruits pack in, it helps to boost your immune system, and helps your body produce collagen which gives skin elasticity. (Great for all those moms out there that just had babies and want to get rid of stretch marks!)



At Skin Candy Soap, we took this information and made a special soap blend that helps to reduce scaring, wrinkles, stretch marks and protect your skin from the sun. All by adding this wonderful summer fruits natural oils to our already moisturizing soap base. Along with the antioxidant and antibacterial properties of natural clover honey, this soap is a powerful addition in your shower!
