Description and Uses: This bergamot oil has a lovely, olive green color and exceptional aroma. We recommend this pure, whole bergamot oil for use in a diffuser or burner, and the Bergamot FCF for use in skin care products or massage oils. Bergamot essential oil has the potential to cause burns if applied before exposure to sunlight or tanning beds, and so for most applications, we recommend the bergamot FCF (which reduces that risk). However, we've had several requests for the whole bergamot oil, and so we're offering it with the caution of only using it in a diffuser or burner.

Bergamot oil is familiar to many as the flavoring in Earl Grey Tea. This light, fruity citrus oil is uplifting, antiseptic, and relaxing. Bergamot essential oil relaxes and refreshes and is good for confidence building. Uplifts the spirit and emotions with its fresh and invigorating citrus fragrance. Bergamot oil is said to help with loss of appetite due to stress, and in general to help with anxiety and nervous tension.
