Delicately citrusy with floral undertones – soothing for the skin and uplifting for the spirit.
Bergamot Essential Oil is a light, citrusy oil with a gentle sweetness and subtle floral notes. Extracted from the peel of the bergamot orange, it’s valued for its calming aroma and natural cleansing and balancing properties in skincare.
Bergamot Essential Oil is cold-pressed from the rind of the bergamot orange (Citrus bergamia), a fruit mainly cultivated in southern Italy, particularly Calabria. The fruit is thought to be a hybrid of bitter orange and lemon, prized historically for its use in perfumes, teas (such as Earl Grey), and natural remedies.
Bergamot Essential Oil offers several skin and wellbeing benefits:
Balancing – helps regulate oil production, making it especially useful for combination or oily skin.
Cleansing – contains natural antibacterial properties to support clearer skin.
Soothing – calms the senses and may help ease feelings of tension.
Refreshing fragrance – its soft citrus-floral scent is both uplifting and relaxing.
We use Bergamot Essential Oil for its gentle, refreshing fragrance and balancing properties. It enhances our goat milk skincare by adding a naturally clean, bright aroma while helping to comfort and refresh the skin.
It can be suitable in small, carefully balanced amounts. We always blend it with goat milk and nourishing oils to ensure it’s gentle.
Not exactly – it has a softer, more floral character than most citrus oils, with a hint of spice that makes it unique.
Yes, cold-pressed bergamot oil can be phototoxic. That’s why we use it in safe concentrations, ensuring it’s effective without increasing sun sensitivity.
Its natural balance of cleansing, soothing, and uplifting qualities makes it a versatile oil – perfect for freshening both skin and mood.
