Q: What does FCF mean for bergamot?
A: FCF means furanocoumarins have been reduced, including bergapten, which lowers the phototoxic risk compared to non FCF bergamot when used as directed.

Q: Can I use bergamot in leave-on body products?
A: Yes, when properly diluted and formulated at appropriate essential oil levels.

Q: What does bergamot blend well with?
A: It pairs beautifully with lavender and rosemary for clean blends, and with cedarwood for a more grounded, cologne style profile.
