Bergamot Essential Oil

Bergamot Essential Oil
Citrus aurantium var. bergamia | Peel | Cold Pressed | Origin: Italy

Bright and sweet with subtle green floral undertones, Bergamot Essential Oil is cold pressed from the rind of Citrus bergamia, a delicate citrus fruit cultivated in the coastal groves of southern Italy. Renowned for its ability to soothe emotional stress, sharpen focus, and gently clarify the skin, this traditional form of Bergamot is phototoxic and should be used with care when applied topically.

Historically used throughout Europe for its antiseptic and fever reducing properties, Bergamot was prized in early herbal medicine for supporting digestion, calming inflammation, and lifting melancholy. Its signature scent helped define Eau de Cologne and gives Earl Grey tea its iconic character.

Today, this bergaptene containing version is valued for its full bodied citrus complexity, making it a popular addition to emotional support blends, skincare for oily or blemish prone skin, and natural perfumery, as long as sun exposure is avoided after use.
