BERGAMOT ESSENTIAL OIL

Delightfully refreshing and citrusy, Bergamot Essential Oil is an aromatherapy favourite packed with properties excellent for physical and mental health.

Note: Bergamot Essential Oil contains naturally occurring bergaptens or furo/furano-coumarins, which are known to cause skin phototoxicity. This means that when applied topically (even when diluted), this essential oil can cause skin sensitivity when exposed to sunlight, and in some cases cause burning. We recommend avoiding direct sunlight for 24h after topical application.

Alternatively, we also offer a Certified Organic Bergmot Essential Oil that has been debergaptenised, making it bergapten-free or non-phototoxic.
