FAQs
Is this bergamot oil phototoxic?
No. This Bergamot Oil is Bergapten-free and is therefore non-phototoxic. Bergapten is one of the naturally occurring compounds associated with the photosensitivity of traditional bergamot oil. Because it is absent from this product, it does not carry the same Bergapten-related risk of increased sensitivity to sunlight or UV exposure.
How is commercial-grade bergamot oil made?
This product is a Natural Commercial Grade oil made from a natural blend of distilled fractions of the Citrus Bergamia botanical. It should not be confused with our separate Pure Bergamot Oil, which is a 100% pure, cold-pressed essential oil.
Can I apply bergamot oil directly to my skin?
No. Like all essential oils, bergamot oil should always be diluted in a carrier oil or another suitable base before topical use, and a patch test is recommended beforehand.
Does bergamot oil blend well with other essential oils?
Yes. As a top note, it blends well with floral, woody and other citrus oils in perfume, soap and diffuser combinations.
