Safety & Warnings
Phototoxic - Avoid direct sunlight or tanning beds for up to 18 hours after applying Bergamot to the skin. Bergamot must not be applied to the skin undiluted. Serious skin burns can occur if Bergamot is applied and the skin is exposed to the sun or a tanning booth. It may be used safely (no phototoxic response) on the skin in a blend at no more than 0.4% (approx. 1-2 drops per 1 oz/30 ml of carrier). If you are using the oil on an area of your skin that has no exposure to the sun or UV light, then there is no safety concern. If oxidized, Bergamot essential oil may cause skin irritation or sensitization due to the high limonene content.

Bergamot
I have never been disappointed with Bergamot. Great for diffuser blends
Bergamot
This bergamot is beautiful. I cannot be without it- it’s a staple in my massage room diffuser unit, and great diluted as a personal pick me up on my auricular acupuncture points and on my inner wrists (when I’m not planning to Be in the sun).
Bright and citrusy
I bought this to use for my laundry and house cleaning duties. It smells similar to lemon and is bright & up lifting. This is great for cleaning and making the house smell uplifting without breathing in chemicals that is bad for the health. I use homemade laundry detergent along with a variety of essential oils, and my utility room smells so good!
Best smell
First time using this oil, absolutely love it, I'll be needing it in a larger size.
Yum!
This is the best smelling bergamot I've ever used. It smells bright, clean, light and wonderfully citrusy. I've been using it mixed with lavender in my massage oil and diffuse it alongside sweet orange, lime and grapefruit. Yum!
