Bergamot Essential Oil – (Bergaptene Free)

About Bergamot Essential Oil

The aromatic profile of this oil is so compelling that it has been used for centuries in perfume, cuisine and even in your favourite tea, Earl Grey. Bergamot’s bright sweetness tends to produce big smiles when added to your diffuser.

When diffused, Bergamot can have compelling mood stabilizing effects. It can be used to relax upset children, relieve tension and is excellent for promoting clarity in the workspace. You can use this stunning aroma at nighttime with a few drops of lavender to ensure a good night rest. Try one of our diffusers as a perfect nightlight for your child’s bedroom.

Apart from being an absolute staple in your home aromatherapy stash, Bergamot essential oil also is a natural blessing when it comes to hair and skin care. It is a nourishing tonic that will imbue your hair with lustre and shine. Add a few drops of Bergamot to our almond oil and apply to clean hair.

In Aromatherapy, Bergamot can be used topically or inhaled to:

help improve the look of greasy, mixed and acne-prone skin as well as oily hair.
soothe minor skin irritations.
experience relief from eczema and dermatitis.
help relieve headaches.
ease digestive discomfort as bergamot can act as a carminative and antispasmodic.
diminish the symptoms of cold & cough.
help relieve stress, tension, anxiety and depression.

Bergamot Essential Oil Profile

This premium grade of Bergamot is a clean, balanced citrus oil, with a classic tangy-green top note. While typically very phototoxic, our bergamot essential oil has had its bergaptene content removed. This allows the bergamot essential oil to be used on both the skin and hair without concern for phototoxicity when exposed to the sun.

How to Use Bergamot Essential Oil

Direct Inhalation: Perhaps the simplest way to use bergamot oil is through inhalation. Place a few drops of this mood balancing oil in our Aroma Inhaler. You can use it repeatedly through your day for a feeling of clarification and inspiration. For a quick blend, do this with a drop of Geranium oil to discourage feelings of sadness or melancholy.

Diffuser: Bergamot is one of our favourite oils to keep tucked away by the diffuser as it blends well with almost any other oil — give it a try! It’s an aroma the whole family can enjoy including the children — they love it! Bergamot is a wonderful year-round aroma for creating a fresh, welcoming home.
