Bergamot Essential Oil

Citrus bergamia (Rind) | Cold-Pressed Essential Oil

With its bright, refreshing citrus notes and subtle floral undertones, Bergamot Essential Oil is a prized component in both natural perfumery and aromatherapy. Cold-pressed from the rind of the Citrus bergamia fruit, this oil has a unique balance of sweet, tart, and floral qualities that lend itself beautifully to top notes, particularly in citrus blends, chypres, and fougères.

Other Uses & Benefits
Beyond perfumery, Bergamot Essential Oil is valued in holistic wellness and natural household products:

🍃 Aromatherapy: Known for its mood-boosting, calming, and anxiety-reducing properties. Add a few drops to your diffuser to create a relaxing environment or to ease tension.
🧴 Natural Skincare: Often used in DIY skincare recipes to help brighten dull skin, though it should be diluted properly due to its phototoxicity. It’s great for oily or acne-prone skin.
🕯️ Home Fragrance: Perfect for creating invigorating and fresh air fresheners, candles, and room sprays. Combine with other citrus or floral oils for a beautifully aromatic atmosphere.
💆 Massage Therapy: When diluted in a carrier oil, it can be used in relaxing massage blends to help alleviate stress and improve circulation.

Chemical Composition (Typical):

• Limonene (up to 50%) – bright, uplifting citrus

• Linalool – subtle floral, relaxing note

• Linalyl acetate – adds sweetness and complexity to the citrus profile

• Bergapten (trace) – known for its phototoxicity, which is reduced in bergamot oils labeled "FCF" (Furanocoumarin-Free)

How to Use

• Use at 1–5% in fragrance blends, depending on the desired intensity of the top note

• Can be diluted in perfumers’ alcohol, DPG, or carrier oils for body products or room sprays

• Dilute properly for skin use (1–2% dilution is recommended for topical applications, as bergamot can be phototoxic when used undiluted)

• Macerate for best results—its full character unfolds over time in blends

Safety & Storage

• Phototoxic: Avoid sun exposure on skin after using Bergamot Essential Oil in skincare products. Use diluted amounts (≤1%) in leave-on applications

• Store in a cool, dark place in a tightly sealed container

• External use only – do not ingest

• Bergamot can oxidize quickly, so use within 6–12 months of opening for optimal freshness
