What is Bergamot Essential Oil?

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.

Where does Bergamot Essential Oil come from?

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.

What does Bergamot Essential Oil do in skincare?

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.

Why we use Bergamot Essential Oil

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.

FAQs

Does Bergamot Essential Oil smell like oranges?

Not exactly – it has a softer, more floral character than most citrus oils, with a hint of spice that makes it unique.

Can Bergamot Essential Oil make skin sensitive to sunlight?

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.
