Bergamot Oil

Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Fruit Oil

Low Risk
Non-comedogenic · Non-irritating

Bergamot oil is an essential oil cold-pressed from the rind of the bergamot orange. It has a fresh, citrusy scent and contains compounds with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. However, it contains bergapten (a furanocoumarin) that causes phototoxic reactions, making bergapten-free (FCF) forms essential for leave-on skincare.
