                        All About Bergamot

                        Bergamot oil comes from the pressed peel and sometimes fruit of the bitter orange tree. Its aroma is fresh, herbal, and citrus-like. The aroma in research has been found to be calming, and the oil has shown in vitro to be antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-nociceptive, anti-inflammatory, and more.

                        Essential Oil Description

                        Oil is cold pressed or steam distilled. Steam distallation removes furanocoumarins, which can be photosensitizing.

The expressed version darkens with age, while the distilled type turns light yellow with age. The aroma is sweet, herbaceous, and citrus-like.
