Bergamot oil – mood-enhancing citrus oil with a clarifying effect on skin and senses
Organic bergamot oil has antiseptic, sebum-regulating and mood-enhancing effects – ideal for impure skin, nervous tension and inner restlessness.
Introduction / Brief description
Bergamot oil (INCI: Citrus Bergamia Peel Oil Expressed ) is an essential oil with a fresh, tart fragrance profile and a balancing effect. It is extracted by cold pressing from the peel of the bergamot fruit—a special citrus fruit cultivated primarily in Calabria and Sicily. The oil is known from classic Earl Grey tea and is a popular fragrance component in natural perfumery.
Origin & Production
The bergamot is a citrus fruit with a greenish-yellow peel. To obtain this high-quality essential oil, the fresh peels are cold-pressed. Our bergamot oil comes from certified organic cultivation in southern Italy. It contains no synthetic additives and is non-phototoxic (bergapten-free), making it safe for use in skincare.
