Why We Love this Grapefruit Seed Extract product
There are several reasons why we love this Grapefruit Seed Extract product, but we will highlight the top two.
First, grapefruit seed extract, the ingredient, has been shown in research to be an effective broad-spectrum antimicrobial that can have impact on several different microbes. This can be useful against microbes like candida (or other forms of yeast), bacterial overgrowth and has even been shown to have inhibitory effects on certain viruses.
Second, this Grapefruit Seed Extract product has been tested thoroughly to confirm that it does not contain any dangerous contaminants. You will commonly read about grapefruit seed extract as being a potentially dangerous ingredient because it can be contaminated with triclosan, benzethonium chloride and benzalkonium chloride. Our Grapefruit Seed Extract has been tested over and over to confirm it is free from these contaminants.
