Bergamot

Certified Organic Essential Oil, 10 ml

Botanical Name: Citrus bergamia

Origin: Italy

Part of Plant: Peel (Rind)

Extraction: Cold Pressed

Description & Scent Profile:

Cold-pressed from the sun-drenched peels of organic Italian bergamot oranges, Citrus bergamia essential oil features a brilliant, complex aroma—sparkling citrus top notes harmonized with a warm, elegant floral-herbaceous undertone. Exceptionally rich in naturally occurring Limonene, Linalyl acetate, and Linalool, Bergamot is renowned in luxury skincare and fine perfumery as a master balancing botanical. Highly valued for clarifying oily complexions, purifying stale indoor air, and elevating the senses, it gently lifts lethargy, soothes daily nervous tension, and surrounds your environment with a cheerful, clearheaded, and emotionally harmonious ambiance.

Key Botanical, Cosmetic & Mindful Benefits:

Balanced & Clarifying Skincare: Gently clarifies oily, congested, or breakout-prone complexions, balances surface sebum, and refines skin texture for a smooth, radiant glow.

Emotionally Steadying & Uplifting Aromatherapy: Lifts heavy spirits and mental fatigue while soothing daily nervous restlessness, fostering an atmosphere of calm, steady confidence.

Sophisticated Gender-Neutral Perfume Note: Serves as a versatile, luminous top note in custom natural perfumes, post-shave mists, and luxury body oils.

Atmospheric Environmental Refresh: Purifies stale indoor air, neutralizes lingering household odours, and brings a crisp, hygienic brightness to home diffusers and cleaning mists.

Best Ways to Experience:

Balancing Post-Shave Facial Spritzer: Pre-mix 2 drops of Bergamot, 1 drop of Sandalwood, and 1 drop of Cardamom with 1 tablespoon of witch hazel and 100 ml of distilled water in a fine mist bottle. Spritz over clean skin after shaving for an invigorating, balanced finish.

Clarifying Facial Steam: Add 1 drop of Bergamot to a bowl of warm water for a gentle facial steam that helps clarify congested surface pores and balance excess oiliness.

Tranquil Living Space Diffusion: Add 4–5 drops to your ultrasonic diffuser alongside Highland Lavender or Frankincense to ease mental stress and establish a peaceful home sanctuary.

Refreshing Multi-Surface Cleaner Booster: Add 10 drops of Bergamot and 5 drops of Rosemary to 2 cups of warm water and 1 tablespoon of liquid Castile soap to wipe down counters and refresh your home.

Aromatherapist's Tip: Bergamot is cold-pressed and naturally phototoxic due to furanocoumarins (bergapten). When applying to skin in leave-on formulations, avoid direct sunlight or UV exposure on the application area for at least 12 hours, or enjoy it primarily in rinse-off cleansers, environmental mists, and evening skincare!
