Bergamot Oil

What is Bergamot Oil?

Bergamot oil is an essential oil extracted from the peel of the bergamot fruit, a variety of citrus. It is known for its citrusy and fresh aroma, similar to that of orange or lemon.

Its primary active components are found in its aromatic compounds, such as limonene and linalool. These compounds may have relaxing and balancing properties for your skin, and they are also believed to have positive effects on mood. Bergamot oil is used in moisturizers, body oils, hair products, and aromatherapy items like essential oils or scented candles.

Bergamot oil is photosensitive, which means it can increase the skin's sensitivity to the sun and cause sunburns. Therefore, it's important to use products containing it at night or ensure sun protection if applied during the day.
