Description: As a citrus fruit, bergamot is a magician of the sun and is considered a hybrid between lime and blood orange. Visually, the fruit can be compared to a small green orange. It owes the beauty of its emanating fragrance to a rare and harmonious consonance of various olfactory components: they allow us to experience a combination of fruity-sweeter with stimulating-fresh notes. The scent of bergamot is said to enrich life with happiness and enthusiasm.
Note: If you want to use Bergamot oil for blends, massages, facial oils and other formulations involving skin contact, this Bergamot FCF (furanocoumarin-free) is the ideal choice, as it is the only way to avoid unwanted pigmentation of the epidermis. It sets in as soon as you expose the skin to direct sunlight.
