Extraction

Bergamot essential oil is obtained by cold pressing the peel of the fruit and is a clear, intense green liquid (which can darken with age) with a sweet, velvety citrus scent, very characteristic.

Affinity

Bergamot essential oil harmonizes perfectly with the essential oils of Chamomile, Cypress, Coriander, Geranium, Juniper, Lemon, Neroli, Frankincense and Opoponax.

Property

Bergamot essential oil, non-toxic, is known in aromatherapy for its refreshing and antidepressant properties, which can help combat anxiety and stress.
It is also effective in treating acne, eczema, insect bites, and cold sores; it is also an effective insect repellent. However, applying this oil to the skin must be done with great caution, as the furocoumarins it contains can be phototoxic following direct exposure to sunlight. Therefore, it is advisable to dilute it beforehand in a vegetable oil (olive, almond, or sesame).

Uses

Bergamot essential oil is widely used in perfumery and cosmetics, as a fragrance and fixative, as well as in personal care products and suntan lotions. The food industry uses it—among other things—to flavor the famous Earl Grey tea.

Botany

Originally from tropical Asia, the bergamot is now grown mainly in Calabria and the Ivory Coast.
It grows into a small tree about four meters tall with smooth, oval leaves and round, green fruits that turn yellow as they ripen.
Its name comes from the Italian city of Bergamo, where the oil pressed from the fruit's peel was first commercially available.
