FAQs:
- What does it smell like? Our Bergamot Essential Oil offers a beautifully fresh, sweet, and zesty citrus aroma with a unique floral and slightly spicy undertone, reminiscent of Earl Grey tea.
- Is it safe in cosmetics? Yes, when used at the recommended dilution levels. However, standard Bergamot Essential Oil contains bergapten, a furanocoumarin that can cause phototoxicity (increased skin sensitivity to sunlight). For leave-on topical applications, we recommend using FCF (Furanocoumarin-Free) Bergamot Essential Oil to minimize this risk.
- Can I use it in candles? Absolutely! Bergamot Essential Oil adds a bright and uplifting citrus aroma to candles. Experiment within the suggested usage levels for optimal scent throw.
- How do I store it? To preserve its quality, store Bergamot Essential Oil in a cool, dark place in an airtight container, away from direct sunlight and heat.
- What are the best ingredients to pair it with? Bergamot Essential Oil harmonizes wonderfully with a wide range of notes, including other citrus oils for a vibrant blend, floral oils for added sweetness and complexity, spicy oils for warmth, and woody oils for grounding.
