Bergamot Essential Oil - Standardised - 20ML

Bergamot Essential Oil is a standardised citrus essential oil expressed from bergamot peel and used in aromatherapy, perfumery, and properly diluted bath and body products. It has a bright citrus aroma with a soft floral edge and is especially valued as a top note in fresh, herbal, and cologne-style blends.

This version is FCF and bergapten reduced, which means it is non phototoxic for typical topical use when properly diluted. It is a concentrated aromatic ingredient rather than a ready-to-use body oil. Why we love it: We choose to stock Bergamot Essential Oil because it gives blends a bright, elegant opening that feels fresh without becoming too sharp.

The FCF profile also makes it especially practical for leave-on body-care blending when used correctly.
