INCI: Citrus bergamia

Bergamot Pure Essential Oil is a 100% pure essential oil with a fresh, sweet, citrusy aroma that is widely used in diffuser blends, massage oils, bath products, and natural fragrance work. It is valued for its bright, uplifting scent and is often chosen for blends intended to create a more relaxed, cheerful atmosphere. This version is steam distilled from the fruit, which helps distinguish it from expressed bergamot oils. It is a concentrated cosmetic ingredient and should always be used in small amounts and properly diluted.

♡ Why we love it: Bergamot is one of those beautifully versatile oils that can instantly brighten a blend. We love how easily it pairs with florals, herbs, and other citrus notes, making it a lovely choice for both everyday aromatherapy and more refined body care blends.
